Banana Chia and Maple muffins


My wonderful dog broke my cuisine art blender, you see he gets a bit excited sometimes and likes to leap onto the kitchen bench and look out the window waiting for us to come home... Said blender was drying on the bench and sadly fell to its demise. So I've had to come up with some creative ways of getting the nutrition from smoothies in solid form... My latest favourite breakfast is rolled oats and chia seeds soaked overnight in water with sultanas for a sweetener and also freshly ground cinnamon and vanilla pods. I wanted to put this into muffin form as i do love a good muffin... So here we go!

Ingredients:
3/4 cup ground rolled oats
1 cup flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup rice bran oil
1/2 cup pure canadian maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
3/4 cup sultanas
3 TBsp chia seeds
3 Tbsp poppy seeds
3 mashed bananas
2 tsp ground flaxseed + 6 tsp water mixed

Combine the oil and ground flax seeds with water mixing well in a small bowl. Add the maple syrup (or liquid sugar or your choice) and vanilla essence.

In a separate bowl mix the dry ingredients (oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, sultanas, chia seeds, poppy seeds). Once combined add wet mixture and also the mashed bananas.

This should make 12 small muffins, bake at 180 degrees celsius for 12-15 minutes, enjoy!
