Banana Muffins

These cold winter mornings call for a warm and hearty breakfast. I find myself waking with sweet dreams of oatmeal, bananas and chocolate chips….. But for those busy mornings I don’t always have time to sit down and enjoy a sweet bowl of warmth! For this reason I came up with a portable option that perfectly combines my dreamy Oats, Bananas, and Chocolate Chips……. I made MUFFINS! To make the idea of these even sweeter, all you need to do is measure the ingredients and toss them in a blender….. its that simple!

When making these sweet treats for the family you can be confident that all the ingredients are wholesome and healthy. The Oatmeal base allowed for a Gluten-Free option, with some beneficial added fiber. The muffins have no added cane sugar, I made them with a Coconut Nectar. This alternative sweetener has a low Glycemic Index, which minimally effects blood sugar spikes. I also opted to use Lily’s Stevia Chocolate Chips. I rather sweeten my baked items with a natural sweetener whenever possible. These muffins have no added oils, the Whole Eggs provide some healthy fats and protein. I kept the muffins moist with the Bananas and Greek Yogurt (which added some more healthy protein). These little pillows of perfection are great for breakfast, snacks or dessert. The husband/wife and kiddos are bound to love them…… after all, mine devoured 4 within a 10min period.
