Clean Eating Muffins

Look at these beautiful muffins I made! For real! I had to be up at the butt-crack of dawn this morning, so what better way to kick off the day than muffins I made the night before. I've been trying to take better care of my body by eating more wholesome meals. These muffins, paired with a glass of whole milk and coffee did the trick, and guess what! Gluten free, sugar free! Tasty. They're not as sweet as other muffins, but I feel like some honey drizzled on top could round it out for eaters with a sweet tooth. 

Clean Eating Muffins
1 1/4 cup oatmeal
1 very ripe banana
1/2 cup whole milk
1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla
nuts, berries, dried fruit, etc if desired. 

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease 6-12 muffin cups. (I used 12. Should have used 6!)
2. Place oatmeal in magic bullet and pulse until finely ground. Transfer to mixing bowl and add baking soda, baking powder, and cinnamon. 
3. Place banana, milk, applesauce, and vanilla in magic bullet. Blend! Add to dry mixture. Combine until all is wet. Add mix-ins until desired (I didn't add any, but I think these would be beautiful with walnuts and dried apricots. )
4. Bake for 12-15 min or until toothpick inserted comes out clean. 
5. While pans are still hot, pop the muffins out of the cups and let cool. 
6. Serve warm with hot coffee  <3 Enjoy!
