Vegan Maple Oatmeal Muffins

By March 19, 2011
Published:Here's another Teno creation I think you might like. We made these out of a bunch of stuff we had in the house one Saturday morning and ate the whole dozen hot out of the pan. It's the same maple, oat and walnut combo you'll find in your favorite morning oatmeal, but unlike oatmeal, you can eat this with one hand while you run around your house getting ready for work in the morning.
Ingredients
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled ats
- 1/2 cup non-dairy milk
- 3/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 very ripe banana mashed
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 1/2 cup all-pupose flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat your over to 400 degrees and grease the bottoms of one muffin pan. In a large bowl, combine the oats with the milk and let stand 5 minutes. Add syrup, oil and the mashed banana, blend well. Add flour, baking powder, cinnamon and walnuts; stir until dry ingredients are moistened. Fill cups 2/3 full and bake 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove from pans and serve warm.

These sound fantastic – I’m a sucker for anything with banana, oats, and cinnamon, so I will have to try them. Usually I make banana oat bread with walnuts and flaxseed, and keep it around for relatively-healthy snacking – that recipe may have some competition.
I’m a vegan for the health beifnets. Not a moral decision .although that is a side benefit. I also watched forks over knives and made the decision to try it for 30 days. Although weight loss was not a goal, I easily dropped 5 lbs that I have tried to lose for years. EASILY. My energy level was up, my blood work improved significantly, my sleep patterns improved drastically, and I have begun to enjoy cooking with my granddaughter (5 YRS OLD) and eating a conscious meal at the table! Sounds odd, but I am so busy working that I have not cooked meals or eaten at a table for years. The vegan diet is easy. My only hangup was cream for my coffee, which I solved with Coconut creamer (no it doesn’t taste like coconut!). Now the vegan diet is incorporated into my life and I can’t think of a reason I’d ever go back. It’s a personal choice though and I’d certainly never try to preach. I still buy cream for my friends at my dinner parties!Found you on the internet when I was looking for a Kale salad recipe. The Kale, Pear and Cranberry Salad is WONDERFUL!
