Ingredients
Muffin Mixture Ingredients
- 200 gram oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 3 tbsp honey ,or maple syrup
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ tsp bicarbonate soda
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp salt
- 100 ml milk
Mixed Berry Chia Jam Ingredients
- 200 grams frozen mixed berries
- 1-2 tbsp maple syrup
- 1-2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
Make the mixed berry chia jam
- In a small saucepan, heat the berries over medium heat until they start to break down and release their juices (about 5 minutes).
- Mash the berries with a fork or potato masher until they reach your desired consistency.
- Stir in the maple syrup or honey (if using) and chia seeds.
- Remove from heat and let it sit for 10–15 minutes to thicken. You can refrigerate it to cool while you make the muffin batter.
Make the muffin batter
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (160°C fan) or Gas Mark 4. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a blender, add the oats, bananas, eggs, maple syrup (or honey), baking powder, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon, salt, and milk.
- Blend until smooth, about 30–45 seconds, scraping down the sides if needed.
Assemble and bake
- Pour a spoonful of the batter into each muffin cup, filling about 1/3 full.
- Add a small dollop (about 1 teaspoon) of chia jam in the center of each muffin cup.
- Top with more batter until each cup is about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the muffin (avoiding the jam) comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
Tips
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days, or freeze for longer storage.
- Experiment with different fruits for the chia jam. For example: Mango, blueberry or peach.
- Try adding dark chocolate chips once you have blended the muffin mixture for chocolate chip muffins.
