Surprise!!
I made muffins!!
For those who follow my blog, you may have noticed that I usually don't make any baked goods because I have no will power. I will want to eat them all..
But these muffins are not for me! They are for my grandkids! I made them a snack that provided solid nutrition that tasted good and they would enjoy. I then packed the entire tray up ( minus one for tasting) and sent them home with them.
And in honor of mothers day, I tried to put a strawberry heart on each muffin.( saw the heart muffin idea on The Nourishing Home ( her hearts look great) along with many other great Mother's Day Recipes.
Think I turned the strawberry hearts the wrong way.. will try again..
Muffins are simple to make and you can put all kinds of healthy ingredients into them. I put oat flour, chia seeds, banana, yogurt, fresh fruit, etc.. Since little ones often like to snack rather than eat a big meal, healthy muffins can be a great way to help boost their nutrition. Muffins can be packed and taken to the mall, playground, or anywhere you are going.
They also can be eaten for a quick breakfast.. Just keep them in the freezer and take out one or two as needed. They defrost quickly and are packed with nutrition.
It usually takes about 5 minutes prep and about 25 minutes to bake. Not bad....
Ready, Get Set, Go!!
Get those muffin tins out and start making these wonderful, delicious, muffins!
Don't forget to freeze a batch for whenever you need a quick breakfast.. The combination of the bananas and strawberries makes these muffins fabulous.
Dry Ingredients:
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Line 14-16 muffin holders with muffin papers.
Mix the dry ingredients in a large bowl and set aside.
Mix the wet ingredients in another bowl.
Slowly with a spoon, mix the wet ingredients into the dry and then add the chopped strawberries.
Spoon into the muffin tins about 3/4 full . Bake for 20-25 minutes until muffins are done.
