Guilt-free Breakfast Muffins !!



What to cook for breakfast???
Its always a challenge to decide and that too a healthy alternative as breakfast is the most important meal of the day.
Usually I go for sandwiches/eggs/poha but on weekends I love to experiment in my kitchen.
I have got my new toy (my oven) and so thesedays most of the experiments are all baking recipes.. I just love baking..One common myth is that baking involves loads of sugar and butter ...Its actually all upon you how you play with different ingredients and incorporate the goodness in your recipes.It won't taste as sinful but will still be a guilt-free pleasure.
So I tried these healthy breakfast muffins with the goodness of oats,nuts,bananas and whole wheat.These muffins are low on sugar and  butter free as I have used oil.
Banana gives a nice softness and oats and nuts a nice crunch on every bite!!
Enjoy these with a glass of milk and you are good to go for the day!!


Ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup quaker oats
1 egg
1/2 cup chopped almonds/walnuts
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 cup mashed bananas
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup oil





Method

Preheat the oven at 180 degrees.In a bowl sift together wholewheat ,oats,baking soda and baking powder.In another bowl whisk in mashed bananas,oil,vanilla,egg and sugar.Mix in the dry ingredients with wet ingredients and fold in the nuts,Scoop in the mix into muffin cups and bake it for 15-20 minutes or till the skewer comes out clean.
Enjoy it warm with a glass of milk!!
Healthy and Yummy !!

Notes:

  • You can replace egg with 1/3 cup of yoghurt
  • You can even use raisins and other nuts
