Strawberry Banana Oat Muffins

Oat Muffins...Summer edition :)

I decided to tweak my original  strawberry muffin recipe for this week! While I love seeing all the fresh fruit at the grocery store, as the season changes, strawberries don't look as appetizing. Guess what? You can buy freeze dried fruit~strawberries included! The local Kroger I shop at had a bag of strawberry and bananas mixed, so I thought it a perfect addition to my usual blender muffin recipe.

 The fam and I think they are pretty yummy.



I hope you'll try it in your meal prep this weekend.

Chocolate Chip Clean Eating Oat Muffins

Can chocolate chip muffins REALLY be healthy?!

Over the past month I have indulged in a few extra treats here and there, but this month I am REALLY dialing in to my nutrition. But part of my meal plan is making healthy things that "seem" like indulgent treats. It tricks your brain a little bit so you are really not depriving yourself. Pretty great, right??

So, chocolate chip muffins...yes, definitely healthy! In moderation, of course 

I hope you add this recipe to your meal prep this weekend!

Clean Eating Peanut Butter Bites

We tried a new treat recipe this week and it is so amazing. Who doesn’t like peanut butter?!

I love trying recipes that FEEL indulgent but are actually healthy in disguise.

I hope you try this recipe in your meal prep this weekend!

Clean Eating Peanut Butter Bites

Preheat oven to 350 degrees

~1 1/2 Cups Whole Oats
~ ½ cup Peanut Butter Powder (w/peanuts as only ingredient – Jiff has a good one)
~1/2 tsp Salt
~1/2 tsp Baking Soda
~1/2 tsp Baking Powder

2. Pour Dry Ingredients into a separate mixing bowl

3. Blend Wet Ingredients:
~2 Ripe Bananas
~1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt
~2 eggs
~3T Honey
~1tsp Vanilla

3. Pour Wet Ingredients into Dry and Combine

4. Spray a 24 count mini muffin pan with olive oil spray (or rub with coconut oil)
and lightly flour to keep from sticking . Spoon in about 2T of batter into each mini
muffin cup until each mini muffin cup is about ¾ full. This will ensure that the
muffin puffs up over the top giving the muffin a nice muffin top.

5. (Optional) Put 2 or 3 chocolate chips onto the top of each muffin.
Bake in a 350 degree oven for 12-15 minutes. Muffins are finished when a knife
inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow to cool and Enjoy! I count
two of these mini muffins as 1 complex carb portion. If you add chocolate chips
count it as one of your teaspoon portions.
