Banana, Blueberry & Cinnamon Breakfast Muffins

Most 'healthy' breakfast muffins you see advertised are actually laden with refined sugar, processed white flour and butter....not a great way to start your day. These tasty delights are the real deal. Packed full of super healthy ingredients they will give you that boost of energy we all need in the morning. Completely vegan and guilt free they'll have you reaching for seconds (something I hold my hands up for being guilty of!) 

These muffins are a perfect 'on the go' breakfast when you're a little strapped for time. Yet also make a great accompaniment to a smoothie if you're feeling extra peckish in the morning. 

This recipe will make 10 muffins. Store them in an airtight container and they'll keep for a week. 

200g oats/oat flour

75g coconut oil 

1 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp cinnamon 

2 medium ripe bananas

100g maple syrup

100g blueberries

1/2 cup water 

If you haven't got oat flour you can easily make it in a blender by blitzing the oats until they have turned to flour - this should only take 30 seconds or so.

Add the flour to a mixing bowl along with the cinnamon and baking powder.

In another bowl mash together your bananas until most lumps have disappeared, when you're happy with the consistency add the maple syrup and coconut oil to the bananas and mix together.

Pour your wet ingredients into the dry and start to mix, making sure everything is combined. This is when you can gradually start adding your water. I've recommended 1/2 cup - you might need a little more or a little less. You don't want the mixture to be too wet or runny, you want to spoon the mix into the muffin tins - not pour. Once finished with the water add in the blueberries.

Line your muffin tin with a little coconut oil and spoon in the mix to the top of the tin.

Pop in the oven and bake for 25 mins at 190C. 

Once out the oven leave to cool on a cooling rack for 5 mins before you tuck in...if you can wait that long.

If you want to make these muffins that little bit extra indulgent you can add a tbsp of raw cacao powder. You can add it as well as/or by replacing the cinnamon. 

I hope you enjoy the recipe! I would love to know your thoughts on it.
