Lemon Blueberry Morning Muffins

Find yourself in a rush in the mornings? You like oatmeal, but hate overnight oats...Like me? 😂 Well look no further! These oatmeal muffins are awesome. They’re so flavorful and incredibly nutrient dense. Rolled oats are a great source of fiber, something most people do not meet the daily recommended intake of. 

These muffins could also be a great pre or post workout snack (post workout until you eat your full meal, of course)! They are packed with healthy sources of carbs - you could pair them with a couple hard boiled eggs for an easy on-the-go breakfast or eat them by themselves on the way to your workout.

Ingredients: 

• 2 ripe bananas, mashed

• 2 eggs

• 1 Tbsp coconut oil, melted

• Juice from 1/2 a lemon

• 1/4 cup maple syrup

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 1 tsp baking powder

• 1/2 tsp baking soda 

• 2 cups oats (I used quick oats) 

• 1/3 cup blueberries 

• 1/4 cup walnuts 

• Pumpkin seeds for topping
  Method:

1. Line muffin pan or spray with avocado oil to grease pan. 

2. Melt coconut oil in microwave or on stovetop. 

4. Mix all wet ingredients in a bowl and sift in dry ingredients.

5. Spray muffin pan with avocado oil or grease with butter. Gently spoonful mixture into the pan, about 3/4 of the way full.

6. Top with pumpkin seeds.

7. Bake for 20 minutes at 350F or until golden brown.

Makes about 10-12 muffins depending how high you fill the muffin tins. Second picture shows this made in a bread form with sliced lemons on top. If you choose that route, baking time increases to roughly 40 minutes or until fully cooked.
