Energy Muffins

My lovely friend Samantha shared this picture of her healthy energy muffins that she made, they looked so good topped with lots of nuts, my mouth watered.  Sam is very kindly sharing her recipe with us all today. 

This is a filling and satisfying snack to have between meals or before a workout.

BANANA AND OATBRAN MUFFINS – A healthy after school snack for the kids or leave out the nuts (if not permitted at your school) and add to the kid’s school lunchbox. View recipe here.

Banana and Date Muffins – I have made quite a few variations of banana muffins over the years, with weetbix or chocolate chips, but have to say this recipe is rather healthy and I would prefer it than the choc chip variety. View Recipe Here.

Zucchini Chocolate Brownies – Sneaking in the zucchini makes this brownie rich, moist and ooh so yummy. Your kids won’t even realise this brownie is a little healthy too! Read more.
