Hi there folks!
Looking for the perfect quick snack for pre or post workout? Look no further.
I am always looking for some new snack situation to make for those moments when hanger strikes and I need something fast.
A few years ago when I was fully plant based (+ not doing corn, gluten or soy 😅) working on getting my health back on track, I used white beans in so many ways. One of my favorites was a chickpea cookie dough. OMG! (I will work on getting that up sometime!)
Anyway, I randomly made these muffins one night before heading out to see my grandparents in Arizona and they just worked so well I continued to make them regularly for a couple years. Then stopped.
I randomly remembered them last week and was like...ding, ding, ding.
I now welcome them back into the lineup.
& I hope you do too.
They only require a few ingredients and are so easy to make. You literally just chuck everything into a blender or food processor. Boom.
I mean, just look at them! 🤤

INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup oats
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mashed banana; one medium sized banana
1 can chickpeas (or any white bean) rinsed, drained and towel dried
1/4 cup peanut butter, heaping
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 tsp pure vanilla bean paste
pinch of cinnamon
optional : sliced banana for topping, chocolate chips, nuts, etc.
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with liners.
Add all ingredients to a food processor or blender and blend until completely smooth. Takes about a minute to get a nice creamy consistency.
Pour into muffin tins evenly (I use a cookie scoop to ensure even sized muffins).
Top with optional slice of banana and bake for 20 minutes.
Enjoy!
NOTES
I love to enjoy these with a drizzle of peanut butter on top.
Store in airtight container in the fridge to keep fresh. Will last for about 7 days. They will turn quickly on the counter.
These freeze and thaw nicely. Makes 12 muffins.
As always, thanks for being here.
I truly appreciate your support.
