These muffins are a weekly staple in our household. Not only do my kids love them, but my husband and I do too!! This recipe is fool proof, healthy and delicious!

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Spray a 24 count mini muffin molds with non stick spray and set aside.

2. Blend oats into a powder and then dump the powder into a medium sized bowl.

3. Add all the remaining dry ingredients to the oats powder. Mix by hand until combined.

4. In the blender or food processor add all the wet ingredients. Blend until well combined and there are no chunks.

5. If your blender allows, turn it on low and then add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients until well blended. If you are unable to have the blender on then add the dry ingredients into the wet gradually and hand mix as you do before turning the blender on.

6. Add in the mini chocolate chips and mix by hand until they are well combined and all the way to the bottom of the blender.

7. Using the TBSP measuring spoon, scoop the batter into the greased muffin molds. This recipe makes 48 mini muffins.

8. Bake for 25 minutes. Take out and let rest before removing from the molds. Enjoy!

We keep these in an airtight container on the counter for a couple days and then put them in the freezer if there are any left! They are so easy to pop in the toaster oven or pack in your spouses/child’s lunch and will be thawed out by time they eat them.

*Notes:
Protein Powder: If not using protein powder, then add another 1/2 cup of flour)

Sugar: I like to use coconut sugar to make them a bit more health conscious.

Grated Zucchini: No you do not have to drain! Easy Peasy! I usually grate one whole zucchini, the more the merrier

Eggs: If using pasture raised, organic eggs I wash with soap and warm water and drop the whole egg in the blender. The shell contains calcium and other trace minerals that add more nutritional value to the recipe!

Protein powder by Equip. I love incorporating this chocolate protein powder into a lot of my baked goods for extra nutritional value. It has minimal ingredients which make it easier for digestion and a great alternative to plant based or whey protein.

Silicone muffin molds! These are the best and easiest to clean. I love these as you can use them in the oven or if you want to make and frozen snacks they are versatile and food grade.

Nutri bullet blender. I absolutely love this blender as I can have it running on low and add ingredients as I go which makes for the smoothest well combined batter.
