What are some healthy breakfast recipes that you like?

CHUNKY BANANA BRAN MUFFINS





1 cup unprocessed wheat bran


1 cup buttermilk (shaken)


4 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperature


1/4 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed


2 extra-large eggs, at room temperature


6 tablespoons unsulphured molasses


1 teaspoon grated orange zest


1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


3/4 teaspoon baking powder


1/4 teaspoon baking soda


1/2 teaspoon kosher salt


1 cup raisins


1 cup large-diced bananas


1/2 cup chopped walnuts





Preheat oven to 350潞F. Place paper liners into 1 (10 or 12-cup) muffin tin; grease top of pan.


Combine the bran and buttermilk and set aside. Cream the butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment for about 5 minutes, until light and fluffy. With the mixer on low, add the eggs, 1 at a time. Scrape the bowl and then add the molasses, orange zest, and vanilla. (The mixture will look curdled.) Add the bran/buttermilk mixture and combine.


In a separate bowl, sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the flour mixture to the batter just until combined. Don't overmix it! Fold in the raisins, bananas and walnuts with a rubber spatula.


With an ice cream scoop or large spoon, fill the muffin cups to the top and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until a cake tester comes out clean.

Whole Wheat Banana Bread





3 cups flour (2 cups WW and 1 cup white A/P)


1陆 tsp baking powder


1陆 tsp baking soda


陆 tsp salt


2 cups sugar


2 eggs


陆 tsp. vanilla extract


1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans)


1陆 sticks butter


1 + 1/8 cups buttermilk


1陆 cup mashed bananas





Add all the wet ingredients and beat by hand (I like to hand mash and beat). Then add dry ingredients and mix.





Bake at 350潞F, can use a variety of pans, and works well too with small muffins and small loaf pans. Bake for probably 20-30 minutes but may vary. Just keep an eye on when it looks right to you.

I use fresh fruit rather than canned whenever possible.





Honey Lime Fruit Toss





1 (20 oz.) can pineapple chunks, drained, reserve juice


1 (11 oz.) can mandarin oranges, drained


1 kiwi, peeled, halved, and sliced


1 cup quartered strawberries


1 large banana, sliced


录 tsp. grated lime peel


2 Tbsp. fresh lime juice


1 Tbsp. honey





Gently stir fruit in large bowl. In small bowl, combine lime peel, lime juice, and honey to make dressing. Pour dressing over fruit and toss. Chill until ready to serve.
