Mornings are not my thing, I do not like waking up early and
I would not mind staying in bed until four o’ clock in the afternoon. When I
feel exhausted and I walk downstairs like a zombie, I usually am in desperate
need of some food. Nothing seems to satisfy me and all I crave is chocolate and
other types of sweet goodness, which we all know is not a good idea. These
types of food will give you energy for a short period of time, but after this,
you will feel even more tired than you did before. In the morning you need a
good, nutritious breakfast keeping you satisfied until lunchtime.
I have never been a 'breakfast person,' meaning breakfast is
not my favorite meal of the day. I definitely prefer snacks to main meals,
chocolate, cookies, muffins, I love them all. If it were to be up to me, I
would eat unhealthy all day. Those snacks sneakily appear in the cookie jar and
I always end up eating them not entirely against my will. I not only dislike
breakfast, I also usually do not have the time to have a huge, delicious meal.
Even though it does not taste exactly like the fattening but
delicious muffins I am used to, I think I found an amazing alternative. These muffins
are not only great for breakfast, but also as a quick snack on the go. Since
these muffins are sweet, but also quite healthy, you do not have to feel guilty
while eating them. This is quick, since you make a ton in the weekend, and you
can eat them throughout the entire week. Overall, this is a great alternative
to your usual breakfast.
Ingredients:
* 200 g of rising flour
* 100 g of oats
* 50 g of bastard sugar
* 1 tsp of cinnamon
* 1 tsp of salt
* 2 mashed bananas
* 2 large, separated eggs
* 3 tbsp (olive) oil
* 250 ml of milk
* 125 g of a fruit of your choice
Preheat the oven at 200 degrees
Add the rising flour, oats, bastard sugar, cinnamon and salt
in a large mixing bowl and combine.
Now add the mashed bananas, egg yolks, milk and (olive) oil.
Mix this together gently with a wooden spoon until you get a wet batter (do not
overmix!)
In a separate bowl, mix the egg whites until it looks like strong,
white foam.
Gently fold the egg white into the mixture and add the fruit
of your choice (in my case the raspberries and strawberries) Mix until
everything is mixed through evenly.
Pick some cute muffin cases and divide the muffin mixture
between approximately twelve cases.
Now it is time to put our muffins in the oven for 25 to 30
minutes.
Leave them for a while until they are cooled
This is the time for the fun part, the taste test! Enjoy!
