My boys wake up every morning and pour themselves a cup of dry cereal. Then, they ask for a bagel, like clockwork, every day. Since I'm not one to load my kids up on only carbs in the morning, I'm always looking for ways to get some nutrients and satiating protein and fat in their bodies before sending them off to school.
Tonight, as I made dinner, I whipped up a batch of these newly created muffins and on the first try, they worked and were a hit! The boys had one after dinner and they gave the thumbs up!
Wet Ingredients:
2 whole eggs
2 tsp. avocado oil
1 c. 2% Greek yogurt
2 heaping cups of fresh, washed & chopped kale
1 Tbsp. vanilla
Dry ingredients:
1 c. gluten-free flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 Tbsp. baking cocoa (unsweetened)
1/2 c. brown sugar (could sub 2 Tbsp. maple syrup or agave)
1/4 c. dark chocolate chips
Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Add all wet ingredients (except the eggs) into a food processor (I used my Vitamix) and pulse until fully incorporated. With Vitamix, you'll need to use the tamper to help kale process into the rest of the ingredients. Add this wet mix to a medium bowl and add two beaten eggs in. Add dry ingredients directly into the bowl and mix together. Spray a muffin pan with avocado oil and spread the mix evenly among 12 muffin cups. Bake for 12 minutes and remove to cool.
Hope you enjoy them as much as we do!
