Healthy Choc & Banana Muffins
Chocolate and healthy in one sentence too good to be true? Not this time. These muffins are packed full of goodness and I couldn't help myself, just HAD to try them.
Why are they so good for us?
- full of fiber from the wholegrain and beans
- mashed banana, adding more fiber and loads of potassium
- healthy oils in die canola oil and egg
- low in fat
So here goes:
Preheat the oven to 180 degrees.
Ingredients:
400 ml Wholegrain Flour
50 ml Cacao
1.5 t Baking powder
3 ml Bicarbonate of soda
125 ml Brown sugar
1 tin Butter beans, drained, rinsed
1 c Mashed banana
80 ml Canola oil
1 Omega enriched egg
100 ml Fat free milk
1. Mix the flour, cacao, baking powder, bicarbonate of soda and sugar in a mixing bowl
2. Blend the beans until smooth in a blender. Add the mashed banana, canola oil, egg and milk.
3. Now mix the dry and wet ingredients, mix until just blended, do not overmix
4. Spoon into lined muffin pans (as I did below)
Then bake for 20-25 minutes.... and smell the delicious flavours coming out of the oven....
and Voila! Enjoy!
Have a great weekend
