Mini Yogurt Banana Muffins

May 10th, 2016 | Posted by Milana in Breakfast/Brunch | Dessert - (0 Comments)

INGREDIENTS:

1 cup Organic Low Fat Plain Yogurt

½ cup Organic 1% Milk

½ cup Organic Old Fashioned Rolled Oats

½ tsp vanilla extract

1 large Organic egg, beaten

1 large Organic banana, mashed

1- ¼ cups White Whole Wheat flour

¼ cup unpacked brown sugar

2 tsp  baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

1/4 tsp table salt

½ cup dark mini chocolate chips, divided

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat oven to 375ºF and coat 36 mini muffin pan with cooking spray (use three 12 mini muffin pans).

In a large mixing bowl, combine yogurt, milk, oats, vanilla extract and egg. Set aside 5 minutes for oats to soften and then stir in banana.
In a separate bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Stir flour mixture into yogurt mixture to moisten ingredients (do not beat – the dough will be very thick). Save 1 tablespoon of chocolate chips for muffin tops, and stir in the rest.
Spoon batter by heaping tablespoons or use a small cookie scoop (1 oz)  into prepared muffin pans; sprinkle each with a few reserved chocolate chips. Bake until golden brown and a tester inserted in center of a muffin comes out clean (about 15 minutes).

It’s Pumpkin season!!!!! I mean who doesn’t love the warm flavors of everything Pumpkin?…..from pumpkin spice lattes, to pumpkin pies, pancakes, scones, cookies…..oh I can just go on forever listing the yummiest edibles with this star ingredient. Fortunately, I have put together this recipe last minute for my fellow Phi Upsilon Omicron members at Queens College. Turned out to be a success! 

They’re very moist and chewy in texture. Just the perfect little morsels of yumminess! Give this recipe a try today! Be sure to tag me in your posts and let me know what you think of the recipe. Happy Baking!

INGREDIENTS:

Yeild: about 30 mini muffins

Serving size: 1 muffin

-2 & 1/4 cups Rolled Oats (I used Trader Joe’s Organic Toasted Old Fashioned Rolled Oats)

-1 cup pumpkin puree (I use organic)
-1/2 cup pure maple syrup

-2 Large eggs

-1 Tbsp vanilla extract
-3 Tbsp Coconut Oil (melted)
-1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk or Ripple Vanilla Milk (also Unsweetened)
-1 tsp baking powder
-1/2 tsp baking soda
-1/4 tsp salt
-1 tsp cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice
-1/4 tsp nutmeg

-1/2 cup mini dark chocolate chips (or whichever you like) + plus more for topping
-cooking spray for muffin tins (I use TJ’s Coconut Oil Spray)

-24 mini muffin tin 

DIRECTIONS:

Preheat the oven to 350°F and then grease with cooking spray or line a muffin tin for first 24 muffins. You will need to reuse the tin again for remaining batter. 

Place the oats in the food processor and blend for about 30 seconds, or until you get smaller crumbs of the oats to resemble whole wheat flour. Next, add the remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips. Blend until smooth and combined. Fold in your chocolate chips. 

Using a small cookie scoop or 1 Tbsp measuring spoonful fill muffin tin.  Top with more chocolate chips. Bake in the oven for 12-15 minutes, until light golden brown. Insert tester until it comes out clean. Let cool 10 min before transferring onto cooling rack. Enjoy.
