HEALTHY MUFFIN RECIPE (+ 6 FLAVOR VARIATIONS)

Steps:

• First, preheat oven to 350ºF and line a muffin tin with muffin liners. We suggest also spraying your muffin liners with cooking spray just in case.
• Next, place dry ingredients into a medium bowl and mix.
• Then, in a large bowl crack 2 eggs and whisk. Add maple syrup, almond milk, and preferred pureed fruit* and mix again.
• Add dry ingredients into wet ingredients and then mix. Then, add in melted coconut oil and mix again.
• At this point, add any of the add-ins for one of the 6 muffin recipes in this post and mix again.
• Fill each muffin about 3/4 of the way full (these are going to be big muffins). Then, place in the oven at 350ºF and bake for 18-22 minutes or until the center is fully cooked.
• Let cool for 5 minutes and then remove from the muffin tin to continue cooling.

HEALTHY BREAKFAST MUFFINS

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, combine the plain flour, wholemeal flour, oats (or oats and coconut if using), brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
• Create a well in the centre of the dry ingredients and add the mashed bananas, egg yolks, milk and sunflower oil. Mix together gently with a wooden spoon until a wet batter forms but do not overmix.
• In a separate bowl whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the muffin batter along with the blueberries and any other additions you wish to include until everything is mixed through evenly.
• Divide the muffin mixture between 12 individual muffin cases and place in a preheated oven at 200C/fan 180C/gas mark 6 for 25 minutes until well risen and golden brown ontop.
• The muffins will keep for up to 4-5 days in a sealed tin or plastic container but preferably eaten on the day or day after baking for a fresher muffin. The muffins can also be frozen in a zipped plastic bag, thaw for 1 hour or until defrosted then pop in the oven for 10 minutes to reheat.
