Filled With All The Good Stuff You Actually Want Your Kids To Eat For Breakfast

I'm committed (and sometimes slightly obsessed) with helping my children make healthy breakfast choices. This usually involves a little creative baking and these Blender Muffins are just as tricky (I mean creative) as my kids' favourite Breakfast Cookies and One-Minute Mug Muffins. These muffins are flourless and packed full of healthy breakfast staples like yogurt, eggs, oatmeal, and bananas. The best part is that like many of your favourite Canned Soup Mom recipes, these muffins feel more like assembly than baking.
 
Simply add all of your ingredients into the blender and blend on high setting.
 
Pour into greased muffin pan.
 
Bake, cool and serve.

Quick and Easy Blender Muffins

Ingredients:
 
2 1/2 cups oatmeal (I use Minute Oats but you can use whatever you have in your pantry)
Single serving container of Greek yogurt
2 eggs
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
2 ripe bananas, peeled and cut into large chunks

Directions:

  • Spray muffin tins with non-stick spray or grease with butter (because these muffins are flourless paper muffin cups just stick to the muffin).

  • Place all ingredients in blender and blend on high setting until smooth. NOTE: if you have a basic/non-commercial blender (like me) it may be helpful to blend your oatmeal first then add the remaining ingredients. You may need to stop the blender and give the batter a stir once or twice to make sure all ingredients are blended.

  • Pour batter into muffin tins dividing equally among 10 muffins.

  • Bake in pre-heated 400F oven for 20-25 minutes until toothpick inserted into centre of muffin comes out clean.

  • Carefully remove muffins from tin and allow to cool completely on baking rack.

Yield: 10 muffins.

TIP: If your kids are like mine and they need a little chocolate to entice them, simply add a cup of chocolate chips after blending all of the other ingredients, and stir until combined.
