Breakfast Blues


Do you know what the breakfast blues are? If not it’s because you haven’t met my husband.

He hates to eat breakfast, he hates to get up earlier to have time to make it, he hates that it starts his metabolism so early, and he knows he can live without it, so he does.

It bothers me that he doesn’t eat it, it's the most IMPORTANT meal of the day!

But I have found one recipe that he likes and will actually eat on his way out and they are filled with delicious, healthy things for you. 

Notice how my food pictures are what most of us are use to seeing when we 
pull out of the oven. How the heck do those people on your 
Instagram make food look so beautiful...

Here is the recipe:

Ingredients
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups applesauce, unsweetened
1 banana, mashed
6 packets of Sweetleaf Stevia or 1½ teaspoons stevia powder or use ½ cup honey
5 cups, Old Fashioned rolled oats {Bob’s Red Mill}
¼ cup flaxseed meal
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
3 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2¾ cups milk
Optional toppings: raisins, walnuts, chocolate chips

Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana and Stevia together in a bowl.
Add in oats, flax, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and mix well with wet ingredients.
Finally pour in milk and combine.
Spray a 12 and 6 capacity muffin tin with cooking spray or use cupcake liners. Pour mixture evenly into muffin tin cups.
If using toppings add them onto the tops of muffins now. If using fresh or frozen fruit, drop it right into the batter.
Bake 30 minutes until a toothpick in center comes out clean.
Cool and enjoy or freeze them in gallon freezer bags.
