On the healthier side of things....

Summer has arrived, at least for me, and I think I want to eat healthier. Not that I eat that terrible, but maybe less chocolate and cupcakes in my life for a little while; or at least only in moderation.

I was going to make these last week, but I was down and out with a migraine for three days. If you've ever had a migraine, the thought of doing anything remotely productive is the last thing you want to do. Instead, you're more likely to sleep all day, with little bouts of eating (if you have an appetite) and maybe getting up; in my case that never happens.
I usually sleep for about 14 hours to sleep it off...

Enough of that sob story, onto the goodies.

I found this on Pinterest, of course. I spotted them about two weeks ago, but just pinned them today.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins, with no flour.
Although there was some sugar in this, it seemed a lot more healthy than other muffin recipes that I've seen.

Ingredients:

2 1/2 cups of oatmeal (the old school kind)
1 cup Greek nonfat yogurt
3/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 bananas
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda






1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix all ingredients in a food processor (or blender, if you don't have the food processor). Mix until the oatmeal is smooth.

 **Side note:  Make sure you know how to put the cover on the food processor. Took me about 15 minutes to figure this out; even though, I had used it before. I know, maybe I shouldn't admit it, but I just did. My name is Jenny, and I'm a minor idiot when it comes to small appliances.**

           



3. With the muffin pan, do not use liners.  Muffins without flour will stick to the liners. I used margarine and rubbed it on the inside of the muffin tins.

4. Fill the muffin tins about 3/4 full.

5. Bake for 20-25 minutes (I baked mine 20 minutes, and they turned out really well).

For being "healthy" they actually tasted pretty good. 

I think this will be my breakfast for the next few days and I'll take a break from my Cheerios breakfast. 

I'm a 4 year old, I like Cheerios...but I can only eat them when my husband isn't around. He doesn't like the smell of Cheerios, which strangely a lot of people don't. Hm. I love them.

Enjoy the bananas!
