Today’s recipe is an easy breakfast option that is packed with gut-healthy ingredients like oats, bananas and nuts that not only provide great flavour but also provide essential vitamins and minerals to keep you energized for the day.
This easy-to-follow recipe will give you a hearty snack that is great for when you’re on the move, in a hurry, or just fancy a little treat, but don’t want to break any of your good habits.
Ingredients that you will need:
- 3 cups rolled oats (as they are, or blended into oat flour)
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- ½ cup chopped nuts (of your choice)
- 1 or 1.5 tablespoons of JUVIA (depending on what phase you’re on)
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
Optional ingredients:
- ⅓ cup of brown or coconut sugar (for those that need a little more sweetness)
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1 ½ cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy, preferably unsweetened)
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
Instructions to follow:
- Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oats, mashed banana, nuts, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, etc, and optional ingredients (milk, sugar, and vanilla extract).
- Scoop mixture into individual muffin cups on the baking sheet and press down with a spoon to form an even layer, or divide the mixture into the muffin tin.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. A useful tip to determine if they are ready is to poke the mixture with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, presto!
- Once it is ready, let it cool for 10 minutes, then take a shot of JUVIA (mixed in a little water), or spread some over the individual muffins for added sweetness.
