Breakfast Muffins
Growing up, I was never a breakfast person! I would struggle to eat food first thing in the morning, and would often not have time to prepare my own meals anyway!
It was not only until I started my journey, that I started to LOVE breakfast! I honestly can’t go a day without breakfast these days and wake up absolutely ravenous every single day!
If i have a little more time on my hands, I love to make my cookie dough oatmeal, or even my hot fudge brownie batter oatmeal!
But for those days where I am rushing around, or even just feeling lazy- these make the perfect breakfast! Made of oatmeal and easy to find ingredients, I make a huge batch of these and freeze them. When needed, I just pop one out the freezer and warm it in my oven or air fryer- and it never disappoints! These oatmeal breakfast muffins are the most nourishing, comforting breakfast with oozing chocolate chips or blueberries.

How To Make Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins:

Maple syrup or honey: You could also use any sticky sweetener preferred (like agave or brown rice syrup)
Vanilla extract: Perfect to add that vanilla flavor
Oil of choice: I used olive oil but any oil of choice works!
Yoghurt: I use plain low fat yoghurt but any yoghurt could work! Flavoured yoghurt works as well.
Baking powder & soda: Essential for the perfect rise

1.
Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl
2.
Line a muffin tin with muffin tin liners and place 1-2 tbsp of the batter inside
