Breakfast Muffins

Colton had Muffins for Moms on Wednesday and I am "that Mom" who takes her own muffins. I am happy to know that my child and I had a healthy version of a muffin - and they were delicious! I made the batter the night before and threw the muffins in the oven after my morning run then continued to get ready for work. Made me feel like Super Mom. HA!

Here is the original recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs or flaxseed meal/water
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups applesauce, unsweetened
• 1 chopped apple (with or without skin)
• 2 bananas, mashed
• ½ cup honey
• 5 cups quick oats
• 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 3 teaspoon baking powder
• 2¼ cups unsweetened almond milk
• Optional toppings: raisins, cranberries, walnuts, chocolate chips, coconut, etc. 

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix eggs (or egg substitute), vanilla, applesauce, banana and honey together in a bowl.
3. Add in oats, flax, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and mix well with wet ingredients.
4. Finally pour in milk and combine. Mix in chopped apple.
5. Spray a 12 and 6 capacity muffin tin with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pour mixture evenly into muffin tin cups.
6. If using toppings add them onto the tops of muffins now. If using fresh or frozen fruit, drop it right into the batter.
7. Bake 35 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out clean.
8. Cool and enjoy or freeze them in gallon freezer bags.
