Healthy Breakfast Muffins – Easy & Light!

These muffins are perfect for a quick and nutritious start to the day. They are very simple to prepare, contain minimal sugar, and you can customize them as desired!

Ingredients (for 6-8 muffins):

1 large ripe banana (well mashed)

1 egg

1/2 cup milk (plant-based or regular, optional)

1 cup rolled oats (quick or old-fashioned, as desired)

1/2 cup spelt or whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

Note: Instead of added sugar, we rely on the natural sweetness of the ripe banana.

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare your muffin tins (you can line them with paper liners or lightly grease them).

Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the banana with a fork until smooth. Add the egg and milk and mix well.

Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, and cinnamon to the mixture. Mix only briefly until the ingredients are just combined. Do not overmix!

Baking: Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared tins (filling them to about 2/3 of the way up).

Bake: Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Cool: Remove from the oven and let them cool briefly in the tin, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Additional Tips

For a sweeter taste: If you want them sweeter, add 1-2 tablespoons of honey or maple syrup.

Optional: You can add a tablespoon of chia seeds for extra fiber or chopped walnuts for crunch.
