Banana Bread Muffins
Happy January everyone! I am excited to share recipes with you in 2013. It is so fun developing new recipes using my favorite Attune Foods cereals, I have many great ideas lined up for the new year.Whether or not you keep new years resolutions these muffins will fit into a healthy, great tasting strategy for 2013 and beyond. These Banana Bread Muffins use my all-time favorite Uncle Sam cereal.
Let’s bake!
Typically banana bread and anything associated with it is filled with all kinds of refined flours and excess sugars. These muffins will suit you, my friends, and will help you stick to those skinny New Year’s resolutions, you hear me?!
Uncle Sam cereal subs as a flour in this recipe as it is ground into a fine crumb and used together with my favorite oat flour.
A little bit of yogurt, mashed bananas and coconut oil keep these soft and moist. Heaping handfuls of nuts and raisins add great flavor and a little more fun to each bite. I love to slather my Banana Bread Muffins with peanut butter or almond butter too.

I love a hearty muffin, and these sound fantastic – and yes, chocolate chips would definitely be added to mine!
(p.s. I have that same plaid blanket – my favorite!)

Gorgeous! I bet I could even do these with flax eggs, don’t you think? Love the blanket, too!

I *almost* started a batch of banana muffins last night with coconut oil but then got sidetracked and never did. Gorgeous, Marla & pinning!
