HEALTHY BREAKFAST OAT BRAN BANANA NUT MUFFINS (NO SUGAR) SUPER S



Healthy Breakfast Oat Bran Banana Nut Muffins (No Sugar) Super S image

Healthy muffins with no sugar and good protein. It's an extremely easy recipe, but I added lots of tips to the directions so don't be scared off. I was just being descriptive to help out new cooks (I found that beneficial when I dove into the world of clean eating and leaning to cook). Don't expect a sweet desert muffin, but more of a breakfast muffin with sweetness from the apple pieces. Don't get me wrong, these muffins are DELISH! To make nut-free just substitute the peanut butter for 2 tablespoons of apple sauce or 2 tablespoons of a neutral oil (grapeseed, vegetable, canola)m use raisins or other fruit instead of the walnuts, and regular milk for the almond milk. This recipe is vegetarian, but can be made vegan by omitting the yogurt and using 1/4 cup of apple sauce instead (you can use the applesauce for the oil replacement & yogurt replacement in the same batch) and use egg replacer for the eggs (or 3 tbsp ground flax to 6 tbsp water - mix and let stand 2 minutes). If replacing the egg, add 1/4 cup of moisture in. You can do this in many ways. For example, you can use either fruit (blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, etc.), vegan yogurt, applesauce (yes, more applesauce), more mashed banana, soy/almond/coconut milk or a combination of all of these.

Time 37m

Yield 12 medium muffins, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 1/4 cups oat bran
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 1/2 tablespoons cinnamon
1/8 cup pecans (optional) or 1/8 cup almonds, etc. (optional)
1/2 teaspoon allspice (optional) or 1/2 teaspoon apple pie spice (optional)
1/2 cup soymilk or 1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons all-natural crunchy peanut butter (Substitutions provided in the recipe description)
1/4 cup Greek yogurt (Substitutions provided in the recipe description)
2 eggs (Substitutions provided in the recipe description)
1 medium gala apples, roughly peeled and diced into small chunks (equaling about 1/3 cup diced apple and can be omitted or replaced with any kind of fruit, Optional )
1 cup mashed banana, which is roughly 4 medium bananas. use defrosted overripe banana for the best results

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit . Grease or spray your muffin pan if you are not using paper muffin cups.
  • Put all the dry ingredients (the first 5 ingredients listed above are all the dry ingredients) into a large mixing bowl and mix with a spoon (doesn't matter what kind of spoon) until well combined.
  • Add the chopped gala apple to the large mixing bowl containing all the dry ingredits and give it a quick stir and a couple folds. Don't spend too much time mixing it because it will be mixed again later on in the recipe. Set this bowl aside. It will not be needed again until step 7 of the recipe.
  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the almond milk and crunchy peanut butter. Whisk with a fork until the peanut butter is blended with the milk. It doesn't take very long to do. As a note, the substitutions for the peanut butter and almond milk are in the recipe description. If you are using any kind of dried fruit including raisins, then put them in with the wet ingredients now. That way they will start soaking up some liquid and plumping a bit.
  • Mix in the Greek yogurt (I use 0% fat to keep the recipe low calorie, but high protein) and the 2 eggs to the medium mixing bowl containing the milky, peanut butter deliciousness. Mix to combine well.
  • Add the well-mashed banana to the bowl with the rest of the wet ingredients and mix until combined. Sometimes I break the bananas into chunks and pop them into the Magic Bullet for 2 seconds instead of mashing them because I'm lazy like that. Overripe bananas provide the sweetness to these muffins. Using frozen bananas (defrosted before being mashed) adds a ton of moisture to this recipe. Frozen, overripe bananas are great to have on hand. You can use overripe (not frozen) bananas and this recipe will still work out. It's pretty forgiving that way. Even if you bananas are yellow they will work, but you'll have to try this recipe in the future when you have your frozen overripe bananas ready and you'll see what I mean. It takes it to a whole new level!
  • In a circular motion, pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients. Instead of just dumping the wet ingredients in I like to pour it around because apparently too much mixing of muffin batter will make them hard (dense) and starting off with a somewhat even coat of wet on top of dry will allow for less mixing and, therefore, lighter muffins. But, hey, if you want to knock yourself out and dump it all in then go for it! Don't let me cramp your style, but if you do that, then please don't say my muffin recipe leads to dense muffins :).
  • Mix with a spoon until the wet and dry ingredients are blended. Try not to stir them too much, but just enough until the ingredients are mixed. Let it stand for roughly 2 to 3 minutes. I like doing this because it gives a little bit of time for the oat bran to moisten up a tiny bit more. I usually set the bowl aside while I get the muffin cups ready. I have a hard time separating those little buggers so by the time the cups are ready it's been about 2 minutes. After the batter sits for just a few minutes, it's now time to start filling the pan which will be described in the step below.
  • These muffins don't rise very much. Maybe about a 1/4 inch to a maximum of 1/2 inch. Fill your muffin cups accordingly. I usually get anywhere from 14 to 16 medium muffins. You can get 12 large ones. I'm not fancy so I use a soup spoon and heap it up with batter to fill each cup. I've heard of people using ice cream scoops and go for it if you have one on hand. I don't like doing dishes too much so the soup spoon I used to mix the ingredients words great for me!
  • Place the muffin pan on the middle rack and bake at 375 for 20 to 25 minutes or until the tops starts to brown just a tad and a toothpick comes out clean. Make sure to keep an eye on these babies because every oven is different. I put on a timer, but if it hasn't gone off yet and I start smelling them from the next room I'll go take a quick peak.
  • Once they are done, remove from the oven. Put the individual muffins onto a cooling rack so that the bottoms do not continue cooking and get hard. The muffin top will have a nice crunch and the inside will be nice and moist with bursts of sweetness coming from the apple pieces. The oat bran will have the consistency of cooked steel oats; a chewy texture. Yum! Now, keep in mind that the integrity of these muffins are to be healthy, so don't be expecting the sweetness and gooey, cakey insides like what you would get out of a chocolate chip muffin or banana bread muffin. If you don't care about the health factor then go ahead and add some chocolate chips and sugars. I won't be offended! I've only used paper muffin cups for this recipe and I found that when I ate them before they cooled that they stuck just a tiny bit to the paper (not too much, though). Later in the evening once they completely cooled they stopped sticking. Just a tip -- .

BANANA OATMEAL BREAKFAST MUFFINS



Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins image

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 large eggs
1/4 cup maple syrup
1 cup mashed bananas
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup milk
1/4 cup coconut oil
3 cups rolled oats
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • In a bowl, whisk eggs, maple syrup, mashed bananas, vanilla, and milk.
  • Slowly add in coconut oil while stirring mixture. Whisk until smooth.
  • Mix in oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, salt, chocolate chips, and coconut flakes until oats are all coated in wet mixture.
  • Scoop mixture into greased muffin tin. Split the mixture up evenly among the 12 muffins.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until tops become golden brown.
  • Let cool for at least 5 minutes, and then serve warm.
  • We keep these in an airtight container. You can reheat them for breakfast or eat them cold!

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Save time by preparing the muffin batter the night before and refrigerating it overnight. In the morning, simply preheat the oven and bake the muffins.
  • Use Ripe Bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins. For the best flavor, use bananas with brown spots on the skin.
  • Mash Bananas Thoroughly: Ensure the bananas are mashed until smooth and creamy. This will help incorporate them evenly into the batter and prevent lumps.
  • Measure Flour Correctly: To avoid dense muffins, use the spoon and level method to measure the flour. Scoop the flour into a measuring cup using a spoon, then level it off with a knife.
  • Don't Overmix: Overmixing the batter can result in tough muffins. Mix just until the ingredients are combined and there are no streaks of flour remaining.
  • Fill Muffin Cups Properly: Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full to allow room for the muffins to rise. If the cups are too full, the muffins may overflow during baking.
  • Bake at the Right Temperature: Bake the muffins at a moderate temperature (350°F) to ensure they cook evenly throughout without burning.
  • Test for Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, the muffins are done. If there is batter still attached to the toothpick, bake for a few minutes longer.
  • Let Muffins Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent them from breaking apart.

Conclusion:

Banana breakfast muffins are a delicious, nutritious, and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or as a snack. With endless variations and customization options, you can create muffins that suit your taste preferences and dietary needs. Remember to use ripe bananas, measure ingredients accurately, and bake at the right temperature for perfect results.
