Shelly's Mini Breakfast Oatmeal Muffins
1 Ripe Banana, mashed
1/2 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 Egg, beaten
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 cup Oatmeal, dry (Quick Cook or Rolled)
2 Tablespoons Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
1/4 cup of "stuff" (raisins, nuts, SF chocolate chips, dried cranberries, or combo)
Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients. My "stuff" additions for this batch were 2 Tablespoons of sugar free chocolate chips and 2 Tablespoons of chopped Blue Diamond Salted Caramel Almonds (Have you tried these!? Yummy!) Spray a 24 mini muffin pan (or 2-12's) with non-stick spray.
Fill each muffin 2/3 way with batter. Bake 20 minutes till knife inserted comes out clean. Allow to cool slightly before removing from pan.
These flourless mini muffins were a delicious start to the day. They could easily be made gluten free if need be because Almond Breeze products are wheat and gluten free just be sure to use gluten free oats and baking powder. They would be great on a breakfast buffet with a fruit salad or build your own yogurt parfait bar.
or toss a few in a snack size baggie and take them on a hike with a protein packed shake like this one...
Shelly's Fauxchata Protein Shake (Horchata without the Rice)
1 cup Blue Diamond Almond Breeze Vanilla Unsweetened Almond Milk
1 scoop Vanilla Protein Powder
3-4 Cinnamon Frozen Yogurt Cubes
Blend on high. I topped mine with a little No Sugar Added Homemade Whipped Cream and a dash of Cinnamon. Frozen Yogurt Cubes are great to add to smoothies (no ice to water down) or in the summer pop one in your mouth to cool you down on a hot day. Here's how you make them...
8 oz. container Greek Yogurt, plain
1 Tablespoon Sugar Free Vanilla Syrup (or sweetener of your choice)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon
Mix together till well blended. Spoon into an ice cube tray and freeze. When frozen pop out and store in a gallon zipper bag. I added cinnamon to this batch but you can leave them plain or add unsweetened cocoa, powdered peanut butter, fresh or frozen berries, etc.
