🍒 Cherry & Oat Muffins 🍒

Hey guys and girls 👋🏻

So I reallly like my sweets (in case you haven’t realized 😂😂) so I’m constantly looking for new and healthier ways to make something that will satisfy my sweet tooth – and this is one of my favourites 🙈😊 these cherry and oat muffins are easy to take with you for breakfast or have as a healthier dessert option – I often make them on sundays as part of my meal prep – also you can most definitely play around with the different fruits instead of cherries if you have any other preferences or cherries aren’t in season ☺️

The ingredients are:

1 cup oats (I use wholemeal Quaker Oats)

3 tbsp Greek yoghurt (I use the 2% fat but any will do ☺️)

2 scoops Protein powder of your choice (I used ON vanilla and chocolate)*

1/2 cup of chopped cherries 🍒

200ml soya milk (or any other milk ☺️) 

1 tsp baking powder 

Coconut oil/butter/your choice of fat to line muffin tins

A sprinkle of cinnamon 

Dates for garnish

Method:

1. Place the Greek yoghurt, oats, milk, protein & baking powder in a bowl and mix together (hand mixing is sufficient as you want to keep the chunkiness of the oats to add to the texture) 
2. Then stir in the cherries 🍒 and the cinnamon 
3. Line the muffin tins with coconut oil (or your preferred fat) and preheat the oven to 200•C
4. Distribute the mixture between muffin tins (you should get about 7-10 muffins depending on the size of your muffin tins) 
5. Then top the muffins with a chopped date (or any other garnish you prefer) and place in the oven for 15-20 minutes
6. When golden brown remove the muffins and leave to cool – and then eat away 😍

I hope you like the recipe and let me know what you think if you give it a try ❣️☺️

*I know some people are not so keen on protein powders (I use them to help me get in enough protein) but you can easily replace this with about ten dates soaked in hot water which you blend and add to the mixture and about 3 tbsp of raw cacao added in there too ☺️☺️👊🏻👊🏻
