mmmmm…I made these “muffins” this morning & added 1/2 cup of ground flax for added fiber & used unsweetened almond milk. We had wild blueberries in the freezer that my husband picked last summer. I ate 2 & froze the rest to take to work for my breakfast at morning coffee break. Thanks for always creating new ideas.

I make these for the hubby at least once a month. He loves them. When I made a batch last week I forgot to put the sweetener, but it didn’t matter, he loved them just the same. He’s so happy to have these for a breakfast of oatmeal-to-go at 3am.

Roni,

I needed to use up a couple “older” banana’s and stumbled across this recipe! I swapped the Stevia/Splenda for 2 Tbsp of honey and they were fabulous. Even the husband, who swears off “healthy food,” oatmeal and most fruits, loved them! He said, he had it with chocolate soy milk for breakfast! He actually ate breakfast! Baby steps!! :) I’m so proud. Thanks for all the fun ideas… you should print a cookbook!

These look like a great idea for the hubby. He gets up for work at 2:30am and is way too tired to think about making breakfast. By the time he has 2 cups of coffee, it’s time to drive to work. Not to mention he’s crazy about oatmeal, lol.

I haven’t tried but applesauce seems to be the next best thing! If you try it let us know!

Has anyone tried to make these without the bananas? I am allergic to bananas. Any tips?

I hadn’t seen this! Thanks Roni! I ended up doing leaving out the chocolate chips and not adding berries, but using unsweetened almond milk and adding honey. SO good! My brother who hates anything “low fat” or good for you, LOVED them!

I love these muffins and make them on Sundays. I had strawberries that were going bad so I used them all in this recipe and it ended up being 3 cups, which in turn made 17 muffins. I then started calculating the points and if I use 3 egg whites instead of 2 whole eggs, and the 3 cups of berries it will be 1 point per 17 muffins made. Anyone tried the egg whites instead? I will let you know how it works out! Thanks!

With 6 children, it is hard to please everyone. This recipe did the trick. We will be repeating this a couple times a week from here on out. We nixed boxed cereals last year, and I am always looking for variety in oatmeal. The fact that these are only 2pts a piece make me a happy mama. Thanks!

Tried these this afternoon with a few changes. I used agave instead of Splenda, and used 1/2 skim milk, 1/2 low fat sour cream, and 1/4 cup almond meal, along with some lemon zest, vanilla, and cinnamon. Yummy! They’re a little moist with all of those blueberries, but it tastes great. Thank you!

Jill – They keep for at least a week int he fridge. I’d place them in an airtight container.

Haven’t froze them yet. Actually, I have to make them again! It’s been too long! When I do I’ll freeze them and report back. :)

Roni – these were really good! I actually crave them! I made them with mixed berries, but next time will try just blueberries. Question – how long do you think these would keep in the fridge? Have you tried freezing them?

An additional yummy way to enjoy this recipe:
1) Make the recipe in mini (I used a mini-muffin pan to make 24 instead of 15 – 70 calories each then, right?),
2) Warm up some more frozen berries (20-25 sec in microwave),
3) Place one of the mini-muffins in a small individual-size ramekin,
4) Pour plain, low-fat or fat-free(and organic, if you can find it) kefir around the base of the muffin to make it into a little island, and
5) Top the muffin with the warm, juicy berries you defrosted.

Oh yeah…and I used the silicon muffin cups that are popping up everywhere in stores. They work wonderful! Even the cheap ones. I bought a Wilton set and then a $1 set from the dollar bins at Target and they both worked. They made making muffins so easy and mess free.

These are so good and soooo easy. My preschooler loved helping.
Some notes: I didn’t have enough bananas so I used the baby’s jar of banana baby food and a jar of berry banana baby food since I didn’t quit have 2 cups of frozen fruit. They were so delicious and portable. My preschooler was able to take them in the car on the way to school.

Thank you so much for ALL you do!

I made these for my fam this morning and they all loved them. We ate them hot and poured milk over them. I also added 1 Tbsp of flaxseed which added a nice nutty flavor and extra crunch.

Tricia – I do, you may want to cut back on a little milk as the applesauce may be moister then the banana but it’s worth a try!

I made these yesterday with 1TBsp od Agave Nectar. They were wonderful!! Husband and kids love them! Thanks again Roni!

Do you think you could use chunky applesauce instead of the mashed bananas to mix it up a little?

By: Robyn

Robyn — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 17:40:22 +0000

Thanks Roni! I was actually “guessing” that they were 2 points (for flex), but thanks for figuring it out for me! Glad you liked them. These are now a “staple” in my house! Love ‘em!

Nina…those ARE all core ingredients…so are ZERO Core points!

Wonder if almond milk could be used instead of the skim milk?
