Baking when you are cleansing is a mastery at self discipline... no slip ups tonight... Not one single lick of that spoon.
What did I bake you might ask? The most delicious breakfast muffins ever... No white sugar, no white flour, no butter or oil.... and they're good? (this is probably the question you are asking yourself right now) BUT they are wonderful! and only a mere 2.5 weight watchers plus points for these gorgeous muffins!
I came upon the recipe via Pinterest, and they quickly became a family favourite... (the original recipe can be found here): http://www.welltraveledwife.com/2012/09/oatmeal-banana-breakfast-muffins.html
After following the original recipe a few times, I've tweaked to make it a little healthier and less in points... Here is my Version:
Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins ( a la Leanne)
2.5 Cups Old Fashioned Oats
(I grind these to flour form, then add to a bowl to be combined with the rest of the ingredients)
1 Cup Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Eggs
1/2 Cup Coconut Cane Sugar
1.5 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
2 Ripe Mashed Bananas
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Spray tin with non-stick cooking spray or line 12 muffin tins with silicone or foil liners.
2. Place all of the ingredients, including bananas in a large mixing bowl or Kitchen-Aid, and mix until combined.
3. Divide batter among cupcake liners, and bake for 15-20 minutes (I never bake mine for more than 18 min), or until toothpick comes out clean.
4. ENJOY!
Now, Just take a look at these.... 2.5 points per muffin, (when the recipe makes 12)!!!
Well, it's 11:20 and I think I'm finally ready for sleep... Off to bed I go.
xo,
Leanne
