Breakfast Dessert

I have a "No Chocolate Before Noon" rule.  It is a very difficult rule to follow. This morning, a giant bag of chocolate covered pretzels was staring at me, so I baked some breakfast muffins using the recipe below.  They are healthy and very sweet; a perfect breakfast dessert.  Just one was enough to distract me until noon.

2 large, very ripe, mashed bananas
1/4 cup yogurt
1 egg
2 tablespoons oil
3/4 cup pecans
3/4 cup whole wheat flour
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
dash of salt
1/3 cup blueberries

Mix and bake at 350 degrees for 23 to 25 minutes.  Makes 12 muffins. 

I used coconut yogurt and sunflower oil because they were in my house.  I'm sure other types of yogurt and oil would work just as well.  You could also use 1/2 cup yogurt and skip the oil all together if you want to lower the calories.  I have done that before, and the muffins were still very good.

  1. This looks like the perfect breakfast desert. You shared the recipe and it doesn't look hard. Going to try this out today and see if I can make them or not.
