Meals for You Monday: Morning Glory Muffins

Here is one of our all time favorites. We love this recipe because it is so good but also really healthy for you. I thought I would share this one with you all because it is nice to have these around when life is crazy. You can just snag one of these on the go and not feel bad about it later. I don’t know about you all but with the holidays and all things are really starting to get crazy for us. Thank God we got all our Christmas shopping done early this year!

MORNING GLORY MUFFINS

Preheat oven to 350

Mix together in a large bowl
1 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup regular oats
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 tbs. Wheat bran
2 tsp. Baking soda
1/4 tsp. Salt

Combine
1 cup yogurt
1 cup banana (about 2 bananas)
1 large egg

Make a well in dry mixture and add yogurt mixture stirring just until moist

Fold into mixture
1 cup chopped pitted dates
3/4 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
1/4 bag of dark chocolate chips

I just spray cooking spray into my muffin pan but the recipe says to use muffin liners and spray them with cooking spray. Also is says to make 18 but I usually just use one pan and do 12 and they turn out just fine.
Sprinkle the tops with ground flaxseed (about 2 tablespoons)
Bake for 20 minutes
