Healthy not boring
For most people, eating healthy means plain and boring! But we believe that you absolutely can create delicious healthy and nutritious food, without the added sugar or gluten. It just means you need to get creative in the kitchen and find healthier ingredients.
To show you how, we’ve created these delicious banana and blueberry muffins that are low sugar and grain free! “How can muffins possibly be healthy?!” We hear you ask…. Well, the key is the combination of healthy fats and protein along with natural sweeteners.
The perfect energy mix
The healthy fats and protein come from the almond butter and eggs, leaving you feeling fuller sooner than if you were eating a muffin that was mainly flour and sugar. The blueberries and bananas provide the sweetness, but also lots of fibre, potassium and anti-oxidants! Which also fills you up! How good is that when you need an energy boost for the return leg of your hike or bike ride?!
Quick and easy
Plus these muffins are super quick and easy to make. Just whiz the ingredients up in a blender, pour into a muffin tray and bake! It’s really that simple. They are also extremely versatile, so you can have them for breakfast, as a yummy snack during your outdoor adventures or for any other family outing where you know you need to bring your own food. It really is the perfect grab and go snack!
- 2 Medium Ripe Bananas
- 1 Cup Blueberries
- 2 Eggs
- 1/2 Cup Almond Butter
- 1/4 Cup Coconut Milk
- 1 tbs Sweetener (we use honey)
- 1 tsp 100% Vanilla Extract
- 1 tsp Baking Powder (Gluten Free and no nasties!)
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees
- Line a muffin tin with muffin cases (or a silicone muffin moulds for a more sustainable option!)
- Place all of the ingredients (EXCEPT THE BLUEBERRIES) into a blender
- Whiz it up until nice and smooth
- At this stage, we give you permission to taste test the batter. If you have a sweet tooth, you can add an extra tablespoon of honey
- Grab the blueberries, and gently stir them into the batter
- Use a spoon to fill the muffin cases with the batter. You may lick the spoon again, because that batter is just so YUM
- Place the muffin tray into the oven and bake for 20 minutes or until golden brown
- Allow to cool before enjoying these delicious muffins
- Store in the fridge for up to 4 days (if they last that long). They do taste delicious warm, but they taste even better when served cold after being in the fridge overnight.
- Want to supercharge your muffins? Why not add a teaspoon of Maca Powder to the batter for an extra dose of nutrients!
