Two post in one day! WOW! Lucky you! There are so many changes going on and I promise to get to them later this week but first I wanted to share these yummy treats with you. Pictured below are Flourless Banana Peanut Butter Muffins, Oat Flour Fruit Muffins and Energy Bites. All are yummy and good for you!
Flourless Banana Peanut Butter Muffins:
These are an adaptation from Averiecooks.com.
2 bananas
2 large eggs
1 cup peanut butter ( I used creamy)
6 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon coconut or rum extract (if you don't like either one, you can just add 1 more tablespoon vanilla extract)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Cinnamon to taste
Chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees
In a blender, combine all the ingredients except the chocolate chips.
Your mixture will be thin, pourable.
Line a medium muffin pan with cupcake liners
From your blender, pour batter about 3/4 of a the way up
If you want chocolate chips, add chips to the top of the muffin
Bake for 8-10 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
Let cool and put in your belly!
Oat Flour Fruit Muffin:
2 cups oat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 cup vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup maple syrup
Fresh or frozen fruit (I used a frozen berry mix)
1/8 teaspoon (just a dash) of butter extract
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix all the ingredients, including the fruit
Line a medium muffin pan with cupcake liners
Pour dough (it will have a funky consistency) about 3/4 of the way up. This is will not rise, so you can even fill it up to the top
Bake for 10-15 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean
Energy Bites
These bites are great for a quick snack. OMP loves them with chocolate chips, I love them with extra coconut and fruit.
2 cups dried oatmeal (DO NOT COOK IT!)
1/2 cup unsweetened coconut
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/2 cup honey
1/2 chopped dried cranberries
1/2 cup small chocolate chips
pinch of salt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
In a mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients. You may want to use your hands to mix everything up. Once all the ingredients are combined, roll into small balls and place in a tupperware container. Place in freezer until you are ready to eat or take them with you. They will soften up when they are out of the freezer but will not crumble.
There ya go! Three yummy snacks that you can feel good about when you are feeding your pie hole!
