Breakfast Banana Muffins

These banana muffins were adapted from a recipe I found via pinterest which took me to a lovely blog.  I adapted it into my own using honey flavored greek yogurt instead of plain and therefore used less sugar too!
2 1/2 cups of old fashioned oats (not quick cook)
2 eggs
1 cup honey greek yogurt ( I used ZOI )
1 1/2 to 2 bananas (whether medium or large)
*Always remember, the browner the better when baking with bananas! 
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda

IS YOUR MOUTH WATERING YET?







Add wet ingredients first (bananas, yogurt, eggs) and then the dry ingredients (baking powder and soda, both sugars, oats) into your blender.  Doing this will help it blend easier with less stirring or blender motor burn out!







I used the baby food setting on my awesome Oster blender to start while helping to mix with a spatula through the hole in the lid until well blended.  There will be tiny chunks of oats - you don't have to make it like a soup. 

 Grease a muffin pan (Do not use paper liners for a non-flour recipe) and fill each spot with muffin mix.
Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes (or until tooth pick comes out clean).

GOLDEN GOODNESS!



You can eat plain or spread with butter, nutella, or peanut butter.  But whatever you do...
ENJOY!
