Rich in fiber and protein these little guys will keep you feeling full for hours. Plus, you can create whichever combo you like and did I mention they are vegan! I used 3 different toppings; cinnamon-strawberry, peanut butter and peanut butter-chocolate. The muffin base has vanilla protein powder which adds a nice taste.
Recipe
Ingredients:
• 1 cup oat flour
• 1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder, I used plant-based
• 2 bananas, mashed
• 2 flax eggs (2T ground flaxseed meal + 6T water)
• 1 cup oat milk, can sub with almond milk
• ½ tablespoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Method
1.) Make flax eggs and let sit 5-10 minutes till gel forms. Preheat oven to 350F and spray a muffin pan with cooking spray.
2.) In a large bowl combine the mashed bananas, oat milk and flax-eggs.
3.) Mix in the oat flour, rolled oats and vanilla protein powder. Mix thoroughly.
4.)Add in baking powder, pinch of salt and cinnamon.
5.) Top muffins with toppings of choice, here is what I did
• PB Muffins- drizzled 1 teaspoon PB over muffins
• PB Chocolate muffin- drizzled 1 teaspoon PB plus a few chocolate chips on top
• Cinnamon-Strawberry- pinch on cinnamon, topped with diced strawberries
The topping combos are endless!
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
