Listen here…don’t knock it ‘til you try it. Protein, fat, and complex carbs all in one place - a delicious breakfast sandwich that will fuel you for whatever your day holds - work, chasing kids, school, etc. Just give it a shot.

Ingredients:

1 English Muffin (currently into Ezekial Sprouted Grain)

Peanut Butter (look for just peanuts and salt)

Strawberry Jam (look for low sugar option)

1 scrambled egg

Directions:

Crack and scramble 1 egg. Meanwhile, lightly toast English muffin and spread with peanut butter and strawberry jam. Add scrambled egg and enjoy.

Banana Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins

Breakfast. Snack. Dessert. You name it, these will fit the bill. So quick, easy, healthy, and delicious you’ll probably want to make a double batch because they freeze beautifully and you just never know when you might need them…can I get an “amen”?

I use eggs in these (and most of my recipes) but fear not egg-free people of the world, you can still have your banana chocolate chip mini muffins and eat them too. Here’s a simple sub for the two eggs required in this recipe (and many others): 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 4 Tbsp water. It’s called a flax egg and it makes egg-free baking doable. Easy peasy. Now here’s the goods:

Ingredients:

2 very ripe bananas, mashed

2 eggs (or 2 Tbsp ground flaxseed + 4 Tbsp water)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup unsweetened, vanilla almond milk

1/4 cup almond butter

1 tsp baking powder

2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 cup almond flour

2 Tbsp coconut flour (or sub more almond flour)

Mini chocolate chips (I like EnjoyLife Foods dairy-free)

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a mini muffin tin and fill with batter. Bake 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Cool slightly then transfer to wire rack.
