These delicious mini muffins are irresistible. Dangerously irresistible. So much so that I could not wait another day to share the recipe with you for these decadent little bites.

This recipe makes for a nutritious pre-made breakfast or snack option for the week. But that’s not it, for my health conscious and food allergy-prone readers out there; they are vegan, gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free. They might as well be calorie-free.

If you are looking at these and thinking they are self-indulgent calorie bombs, well, they are, but they are made with real, wholesome ingredients and without any added sugar.

Ingredients (for 12 mini muffins)

• 2 cups of pure organic oatmeal
• 1 mashed banana
• 2 cups of apple sauce
• 1 cup of almond milk
• 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 cup of almond butter
• 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
• 1/2-1 cup of dark chocolate chips (optional- add in almonds, berries, or your favorite nuts, fruit…etc.)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit
2. Combine all ingredients in a large bowl and mix well
3. Pour into greased muffin tins
4. Cook for 20-30 minutes (check on them to make sure they’re firm)
5. Sprinkle on some more cinnamon or toppings!

Aren’t these little muffins just adorable? They are perfect for breakfast, midmorning snack, and even for those 3 pm cravings when you’re dreaming of the vending machine on your office floor. 😉
