You guys requested it, so here it is! This recipe is delicious, full of protein, vitamins, minerals, potassium, antioxidants and complex carbs, not to mention NO ADDED SUGAR! Perfect way to start your day or a perfect afternoon snack.

I originally developed this recipe as a good breakfast food for my daughter. She refuses to eat oatmeal so I thought this might be a good idea. Then, I tried them and realized these are great for ANYONE!


This recipe makes 12 full bodied, delicious muffins


Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins

What you need:

  • 3 cups quick oats, rolled oats, or steel cut oats (I used steel cut, but any of these would be appropriate.)

  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 Tbsp baking powder
  • 1 Tbsp vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbsp flour
  • 1 cup frozen blueberries 
  • 2 eggs (or to make it vegan, 2 flax eggs. 1 Flax Egg = 1 tbsp ground flax seed, 4 Tbsp water, mixed in bowl and let sit for 10 minutes)
  • Greased muffin tin  
Directions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then mix in the oatmeal.
  3. Add the almond milk, baking powder and vanilla extract. Stir until just mixed. 
  4. Toss the blueberries in the Tbsp of flour until all coated 
  5. Fold blueberries into banana oatmeal mix
  6. Disperse mixture evenly into muffin tin
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden.
  8. As always... enjoy!!
