I love Bob Harper from The Biggest Loser. He is always such a great motivator on the show and you can tell that he truly cares about the contestants. Last year at BlogHer’11, Bob spoke at a breakfast session – it was so inspiring to hear him speak!
This past week, thanks to a great Klout perk, I received a copy of his new book – The Skinny Rules: The Simple, Nonnegotiable Principles for Getting to Thin(affiliate link). The book has a great set of “rules” in order to lose weight, along with some core recipes.
These Banana Nut Cinnamon Muffins sounded like a great “on the go” breakfast meal, so I decided to give them a try. With applesauce, walnuts, banana and rolled oats – they are pretty tasty! I’ve already got them packed for Rob to take to work tomorrow!
Ingredients
- 1 small banana
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 8 large egg whites (I used egg beater substitutes)
- 1 cup rolled oats (I used Quaker)
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped walnuts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
- Mash the banana in a small bowl with a fork.
- Mix all ingredients (except the walnuts) in a food processor.
- Mix walnuts into the muffin batter.
- Line muffin pan with paper liners.
- Divide mixture evenly. (I had enough for 12 muffins).
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes.
