P3 Muffins (Banana Apple Blueberry)
There are endless combinations of fruits (and veggies!) you could use in these muffins, so here is the basic recipe. Feel free to sub fruits and veggies however you like and leave me a message in the comments if you come up with a great combination!
Note: Bananas have a high sugar content, so use caution if you are early in Phase 3 or sensitive to sugar. I know many HCGers who have no trouble eating bananas in Phase 3, but use caution if you haven't tried them.
Banana Apple Blueberry Muffins
Preheat oven to 350* and line or grease muffin tin. This recipe makes 12 regular size muffins or 24 mini muffins.
1/4 cup Flax Seeds, ground (or use a little less flax meal)
1 cup raw Almonds, ground (or use a little less almond meal/flour)
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/4 tsp Salt
Mix the above ingredients until well blended. Then add:
1/4 cup Butter, melted (or oil if you prefer)
1 Egg
25 drops Liquid Stevia
1-2 Bananas, very ripe (mash first if you are mixing by hand)
1 Apple, peeled, cored and diced
1 cup Blueberries (I recommend the small frozen kind, rinsed and patted dry)
Divide batter into prepared muffin tin and bake for about 25 minutes or until muffins are turning brown on top and spring back when you press on them. Let cool completely.
