Have a break: Oatmeal banana pumpkin seed muffins

#easyfoodcreations #healthyeating #muffins

Banana muffins are probably the most popular muffins, yet I find most recipes are using regular flour and tons of sugar which is not necessary when cooking with already very sweet bananas. I decided to make the oatmeal variety with pumpkin seeds. I chose pumpkin seeds as they go so well with honey and oatmeal, which we often add to our morning oatmeal. 

I aimed to make 6 large muffins as more than that is too many for the 3 of us. With the quantities below I produced 7 large muffins.

Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas
1-2 tbsp raw sugar (optional) depends how ripe are the bananas you are using
2 tbsp honey
3-5 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds
1.5 cup traditional oats
1 tsp baking powder
0.5 tsp baking soda
Pinch of salt
Pinch of cinnamon
Pinch of vanilla powder
1 egg
1 tbsp butter, melted

1. Preheat the oven to 177c.
2. Put all ingredients except pumpkin seeds in a blender. Blend for a few minutes until smooth.
3. Mix in pumpkin seeds with a spoon.
4. Scoop muffin dough into muffin forms filling them to about 2/3. 
5. Bake at 177c for 17 minutes.
6. Let them cool.
7. Enjoy!
