My breakfast is early. If I want to have something substantial I have to eat before 6:00 am, usually around 5:30. I usually end up blending a protein or green smoothie and taking it to my first client. My smoothies are filling and I am usually satiated for a few hours. When my earliest client cancels I feel indulgent when I get to have eggs, but I usually have a pretty wimpy breakfast followed by snacks of fruit, nuts, seeds and on occasion a Lara Bar.
Today I made a client some breakfast muffins and decided to come home and whip up some for myself. I will admit, I usually feel a little sick of cooking after spending time in the kitchen for a client; but these muffins are so easy it was no sweat. I usually make these with mini chocolate chips, but I have been over doing the sweets lately and decided to leave them out. They are way more decadent with the chocolate, so by all means add away.
I mix these 5 ingredients in a blender to create a smooth batter:
1 Large Banana
½ cup of Nut Butter
2 tbsp of Raw Honey
1 Egg
¼ tsp of Baking Soda
Bake in a 400 degree oven for 7-13 minutes depending on the size of your muffin. Mini muffins take about 7 minutes in my oven and regular muffin tins take between 11-13.
I try not to eat raw egg but I licked the spatula and a little bit of the blender…it’s that good.
I like this recipe because it is simple and it is easy to just whip together when a craving or need strikes. If you don’t have Raw Honey you can use regular honey, agave or maple syrup. If you are vegan these work with a flax egg too! I used organic peanut butter but almond, cashew or sun butter would work as well.
