Recipe: breakfast muffins

October 31, 2014 by Shari Leave a Comment

Sometimes when you wake up in the morning  – with two under two – your morning goes so smoothly and you have the opertunity to eat cereal and toast and maybe even get a couple of sips of your tea whilst it’s still lukewarm! Other days it is CRAZY and you need to have these breakfast muffins in your pantry for those mornings (perfect for eating with one hand or giving to your toddler so you can breastfeed).

These breakfast muffins are super nutrious and full of delicious flavours. I’ve made these muffins sugar free and dairy free – but you don’t need to if you don’t want to.

I’ve used organic rice malt syrup as a sugar substitute (so that they are sweet enough for a toddler to enjoy). Pureharvest Rice Malt Syrup is a versatile and healthy sweetener which contains 100% organic brown rice. It contains complex carbohydrates, maltose and a small amount of glucose, making it free from added cane sugars, fructose, artificial colours and preservatives.

I’ve also used fruit to naturally sweeten the muffins (and also keep them moist). I’ve added chopped dates, which are super sweet – if your toddler (or you) don’t like them you can leave them out… But don’t leave out the banana or the pear.

BREAKFAST MUFFINS
2 cups of organic rolled oats
2 cups of self-raising flour
1 cup of flaxseed (with almonds, brazil nuts, walnuts and CoQ10)*
1/2 cup of almond milk (or greek yoghurt)**
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of organic coconut oil
1 tablespoon of organic rice malt syrup
2 bananas
2 poached pears (or canned pears)
1/4 cup of dates
Preheat your oven to 160 degrees and place some pattie pans into your muffin tin. 
Mash the bananas and the pears with a fork. Add the almond milk, eggs, coconut oil and rice malt syrup into the fruit. Remove the pits from the dates and slice before adding into the mixture.
Add your dry ingredients into the mix and then mix for 5 minutes or until all ingredients are combined.
Spoon the mixture into the muffin tin and bake for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through. 
*I have also used LSA (ground linseed, sunflower seeds and almonds) in these muffins.
** I love using what I have in the fridge/pantry so you can used either almond milk (or milk or another milk substitute) or greek yoghurt depending on what you have in the fridge.

Shari from GoodFoodWeek

GoodFoodWeek started in 2008 as a way of sharing recipes with uni friends and family who were spread near and far. It has evolved over the years to contain my ramblings as I’ve searched for a house, planned the perfect veggie patch, stumbled through farmer’s markets with my eye half open (because you need to be there at 6am to get the fresh eggs), had babies, gathered family and friends around a shared table, laughed out loud and enjoyed life to the fullest!
