Apple Banana Muffins

 

  • 2 cups oatmeal
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons chia seeds
  • 1/4 cup goats milk yogurt (or dairy free yogurt)
  • 1/2 cup apple juice
  • 2 egg whites, lightly beaten
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla bean powder
  • 2 large green organic apples
  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

In a food processor, grind the oats into a flour-like consistency. Add walnuts and grind. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground oats and walnuts, baking powder and baking soda. In a separate small bowl, lightly beat egg whites. Mix in yogurt and apple juice. In a small pot, mix coconut oil, cinnamon, vanilla and honey over low heat until it becomes syrupy and combine with egg mixture. Add wet mixture to dry mixture, and slowly fold in apple and bananas.

Heat the oven to 350°. Line a muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease your muffin tins and fill 3/4 full. Bake for 40 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted in the center off the muffin and comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with cinnamon before serving.
