This busy preggo mama loves having quick snacks on the fly, so prepping these bad boys ahead of time is a great way to make sure that I always have something healthy on hand. Huge shout out to a fellow coach, Erin for sharing this recipe, because they have SAVED ME lately!! Yet, another reason I love our Good Vibe Tribe Team of Wellness Warriors 🙂
This pregnancy has for sure brought out my inner carb monster, and anyway I can tame it, I am all about. These muffins for sure do the trick!
These are also great if you’re a food prepper and want to whip up a batch over the weekend, and save as snacks throughout the week!
YOU’LL NEED…
- 2 large bananas (mashed) – OR – 2 cups unsweetened applesauce. (I do a mix of both using 1 banana and 2 apple sauce pouches)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 T preferred sweetener (Coconut Nectar, Raw Honey, Pure Maple Syrup, or Agave…. I personally like Coconut Nectar but also have used honey and it’s amaze-balls too)
- 2.5 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 T ground cinnamon
- 1.5 tsp baking powder
- 1.5 cups unsweetened almond or coconut milk
OPTIONAL toppings of your choice… berries, nuts, chocolate chips
WHATCHA DO…
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat muffin tin (I use a silicon muffin pan, which I LOVE & highly recommend!) with preferred oil (I like coconut, or Melt)
- Combine eggs, vanilla, bananas OR apple sauce, and honey in a large bowl. Mash bananas and mix well.
- Add oats, cinnamon and baking powder in a small bowl, then stir well and combine with banana mixture
- Stir in almond milk and mix well.
- Divide oatmeal evenly between prepared muffin cups and add toppings (I like blueberries the best)
- Bake 20 to 25 minutes or until brown.
- Cool slightly & ENJOY save as snacks or the rest of the week.
