I really enjoyed reading the responses to the superwoman post… I’m glad so many of you could relate!
It’s another what I ate Wednesday, and I’m linking to Jenn at Peas and Crayons. Here’s what I was eating yesterday:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs with avocado, tomato and gouda; Lunch: Black bean coconut soup, roasted sweet potatoes and broccoli; Snack: Banana and almond butter; Dinner: Cilantro Lime Fish tacos
The fish tacos were a big hit! I’ll share that recipe soon.
After a mother-daughter baking session in the afternoon, I also had one of these…
After sharing on Instagram yesterday, I agreed to post the recipe. We love these muffins! They are relatively low in sugar, but yummy enough to count as a treat.
My muffin making helper
These are whole-grain, and can be made gluten free and vegan. You could also omit the sugar or substitute it with a little honey or mashed banana.
Apple Raisin Oat Muffins (print recipe)
- 1 c. rolled oats
- 1 c. flour (I used whole wheat pastry)
- 1/4 c. sugar
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 1 flax egg or whole egg (1 tbsp ground flaxseed in 3 tbsp water)
- 1/4 c. canola oil or melted coconut oil
- 1/4 c. unsweetened applesauce
- 3/4 c. almond milk (or milk of choice)
- 1 chopped apple
- 1 c. raisins
Add dry ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together. Add remaining ingredients and mix until just combined. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes. Makes 12.
Do you have a favorite muffin recipe?
Yum! Those muffins look deeeeeelish! Pinning for later use!!!!

Those sound really good and quite similar to the ones I make w/ Bob’s Red Mlll flax meal. Mine have shredded carrots in them, too. Planning to make a batch to take on our ski trip this weekend!

I love avacado with my eggs too! I try not to make muffins too often, because then I will eat them too often!

Thanks for posting the recipe
O usually wants to make muffins every few weeks so we will try these, have to see how they convert to GF.

It’s so fun baking with them! The mess is worth it.
You should be fine with gf oats and gf oat flour.
Laura recently posted..Apple Raisin Oat Muffins
I’m gonna have to break down and buy the oat flour. I don’t do much GF baking, but these look too good not too. Pinned for later use!

Ha – as soon as I read ‘fish tacos’ I was like OOOOH! Recipe! Those sound amazing!
I love all oat muffins! My favorite muffin recipe is for paleo muffins from Paleo Parents – chunky monkey muffins. They’re chocolate and sugar-free and amazing! http://paleoparents.com/2011/chunky-monkey-muffins/

Muffins are always a hit in our house. The mess the kiddos make is worth it. Fun for all!

Your daughter is ADORABLE! Love the pic. The muffins look good . . . but funny thing is, I’m not a huge fan of muffins. I’m not sure why, I guess I’d rather have a healthy cookie–no special baking pan needed.
Michelle @ Eat Move Balance recently posted..KISS: Baked Mahi Mahi
I’m that way with cupcakes/cake… not a fan, I’d rather have straight up chocolate. But “healthy-ish” muffins can pull me in.
Laura recently posted..Apple Raisin Oat Muffins
Those look so delicious. Thanks for sharing the recipe. I need to bake some more muffins with my boys and I’ve been looking for a new recipe. That picture of L is super cute! And black bean and coconut soup? Recipe??
Christine @ Love, Life, Surf recently posted..Staying active while traveling
My husband found that soup recipe… I’ll have to see if we can find it again. It was our first time making it, and it was good, although I’d probably double the spices next time.

oh these muffins sound so good!
Black bean coconut soup sounds wonderful, as do the muffins. I love a good muffin. A treat and a meal all in one handheld snack.

She is such a cute little peanut! I confess I don’t bake enough with my munchkins. I bake for them often, but not usually with them. I need to get better about that…..
Off to read your superwoman post.

Your muffins look delicious and so nutritious, too! I look forward to seeing your fish taco recipe because now that lent is here, we will be eating a lot more fish and seafood. I’m not very creative when it comes to cooking fish, so I’m always on the look out for tasty recipes!
