Super Healthy Muffins

These muffins are a delicious and hearty snack, ideal for those of us who appreciate a quick breakfast or portable energy-packed snack. Unlike the so called ‘sugar free’ and ‘reduced fat’ snacks we see lining supermarket shelves, these Super Healthy Muffins do exactly what they say on the tin – they are full of essential fats, high in fibre and have a low GI rating. Enjoy!

Stage 1 – Ingredients

3 bananas

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp vanilla extract

2 tsp cinnamon

2 tbsp organic peanut butter

2 tbsp agave nectar (honey substitute)

4 whole egg whites

150 ml skimmed milk

pinch of salt

Combine all the ingredients together and blend to a smooth consistency.

Stage 2 – Ingredients

2 cups organic oats

1 cup wholemeal flour

2 tbsp organic milled flaxseeds

rind of 1 orange peel

Combine and mix all the ingredients (dry) together then add to the above mix from stage 1.

Stage 3 – Ingredients

1 cup of crushed organic walnuts

1/2 cup organic blueberries

Combine the walnuts and blueberries to stage 2.

Spoon mixture into pre greased muffin trays and lightly press mixture into the individual muffin cases. I have found that using a tsp dipped into water will stop the mixture sticking to the spoon.

Lastly place the muffins into a pre heated oven 180 c for 20mins. Check muffins are cooked by inserting a cocktail stick or skewer into the centre of the muffins, the muffins are ready if you are able to remove the skewer without any of the mixture sticking to the skewer.

Once muffins are ready leave to cool and store in an air tight tupperware box. You should get approx 12 muffins.
