If you're like me, you usually wake up on a weekday morning and wander around aimlessly until it hits you that you're got to be at work in about...10 minutes. AAAAND you still haven't eaten breakfast.
If you don't eat breakfast, please smack yourself in the head for me.
Don't make me have the "Breakfast is the MOST important meal of the day" speech with you. Because it is...the MOST important meal of the day.
It gets your metabolism going and gives you energy to get through the first part of your long and crazy day.
PLEASE eat.
I'm off of the soap box now ;)
These little nuggets are excellent for taking with you in the car, on the walk to work, sitting at your desk at work...wherever you choose to munch. They can be held in one hand!! How helpful is that?!
They can also be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge or freezer.
The Ingredients:
2 eggs
1 tsp. Vanilla Extract
2 C applesauce
1 banana (smashed)
1/2-3/4 C honey (you can use sugar too...just double the amount)
5 C rolled oats
1/4 C flax seed (optional)
1 T cinnamon
3 T baking powder
1 tsp. salt
2 3/4 C milk
How To:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Mix your wet ingredients together first (eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana, honey, milk).
Next, in a separate bowl, mix your dry ingredients (oats, flax seed, cinnamon, baking powder, salt).
Slowly add your dry ingredients to your wet ingredients. Combine together. Batter will seem runny, but it's ok!!
I placed baking cups into the muffin tins for ease of removal. Pour batter into muffin tins up to the top. This is where you can add any of the following on the top: extra cinnamon, blueberries, strawberries, bananas, dark chocolate chips, etc.
Bake for about 30 minutes and let cool. Store in a zipper bag or reusable container in the fridge or freezer.
*These are NOT super sweet, so if you have a sweet tooth, you may want to add some brown sugar or more cinnamon to taste.
