I just figured out how to use an oven a few months ago and I made up this recipe within moments from ingredients I just had lying around the house. So if I can make these healthy, delicious muffins that are a perfect on-the-go breakfast, anyone can!
Ready in: 25 minutes. Makes: 12 muffins.
Ingredients:
- 3 bananas
- 250 ml (1 cup) granola mix (Vector brand preferred)
- 250 ml (1 cup) almond milk
- 1 egg
- Handful of dark chocolate chips
- 5 ml (1 tsp) of baking powder
- Optional: protein powder
Instructions:
- Preheat oven to 215 C (420 F).
- Mash bananas.
- Mix granola into mashed bananas.
