These are a healthy way to start the day and are very filling. I usually couple mine with some fruit. YUM! My wonderful hubby likes them with a little butter but I don't recommend that. ;-) Oh... and they're best if they're served warm.
Ingredients:
- 2 1/4 C Old Fashioned or Steel Whole Grain Oats
- 2 Bananas
- 3 T Apple Sauce (Unsweetened, No sugar added)
- 6-8 oz Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (1 serving cup)
- 2 Eggs
- 1 1/2 t Baking Powder
- 1 t Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 t Cinnamon
- 1 T Raw Natural Pure Honey
- 1/4 C Pecans
Other Recommended Items:
Blender
12 Muffin/Cupcake Pan
Olive Oil Spray
Calories: 120 calories/muffin (1445/batch)
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375
In a blender, blend bananas, apple sauce, yogurt, & 2 eggs until creamy. Then add oats a little at a time until well blended. This mixture becomes very thick. I have to stop blending and stir it several times. Then add all the remaining ingredients except the pecans. You can either add them to the blender or put the mixture in a bowl. I transfer the mixture to a bowl because my blender has a hard time mixing it after it becomes so thick.
Spray muffin/cupcake pan with extra virgin olive oil cooking spray. DO NOT USE CUPCAKE LINERS because the oats do not cook as well in them. Pour the mixture equally into the 12 spots. They should be 2/3-3/4 full.
Sprinkle some extra cinnamon and the pecans over the muffins. Lightly press the pecans into the muffin mixture. If you don't do this then they won't bake into the top and will fall off.
Bake on the middle rack at 375 for 15-18 minutes. Enjoy!
*Store them in an airtight container (ziplock bag or tupperware container).
