Healthy Oats & Wheat Blueberry Muffins!

Well I call them healthy not because I'm so great at calculating calories, but because I used less than half of what normal muffins call for.

For this super simple recipe

In a large bowl, mix this together:
2 large very ripe bananas, mashed with fork
250ml milk (mixture should not be too dry)
50 g softened butter

Add 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats into mixture, let stand 5 mins

Then stir in:
1 egg (mix well)

Seive these into the wet ingredients:
1 ½ cup. whole wheat flour (or plain flour)
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. Salt


Fold in
½ cup Blueberries,
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup raisins (soak in hot water to rehydrate)
(chocolate chips are not a must-have but I love it! But you can also use any other fruits! Try strawberries, cherries, kiwis, apple; quantity use ½ cup

Preheat oven 190 °C for 15 mins
Fill muffin cups ¾ full (makes about 12 large muffins)

Bake
Bake at 190 °C (375°F) for 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in center comes out clean. Since this is a moist muffin, you might find juicy bits of fruit coming out with the toothpick, that's ok.

Cool slightly before serving

ENJOY!

Note: this is a sugar-free recipe, but the ripe bananas, blueberries and chocolate chips give it the sweetness. If the fruit you are using isn't sweet, do add 1/2 cup of sugar.
