Happy Thursday! Is it just me or does it seem like the summer is flying by? I saw the back-to-school stuff at Target the other day and I am not ready at all for it. I need this summer to slow down a bit. Last week I was telling you how I was not planning on turning on the oven any time soon and yet here I am with another recipe. I saw the frozen plantain bags at Trader Joe's and I couldn't help it. I had to bake something. This recipe brings all the flavors of summer since they have mango in them. Mangoes are in season right now so they are a great option to add to your smoothies or baked goods. They are high in vitamins a and c and beta carotene among others so they have both skin and immune system benefits.
Here is the recipe I used:
Ingredients:
1 bag of frozen plantains (Trader Joe's)
1 cup mangoes
1 egg
1/2 cup almond milk
1 tsp baking soda
1/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 tsp salt
1 scoop collagen peptides
*************************************************************
Place the plantains in the fridge the night before you will use them so that they thaw. Preheat the oven to 350F and coat the bottom of a muffin tin with oil. Blend the plantains until you have a smooth puree. Add the rest of the wet ingredients and mix together. In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients. Combine the wet and dry ingredients together. Fill the muffin tins about 3/4 full and smooth the tops with the back of a spoon. Bake the muffins for about 30 minutes or until a knife comes out clean. Let the muffins cool on a rack.
Here are the nutrition facts for these muffins:
These muffins are naturally sweetened by the mangoes and are low in carbs. I like how they have a good amount of protein in them. They work great as a snack or for breakfast with some fruit on the side.
These muffins have been a hit with both kiddos, a tough feat these days that my 2 year old is pickier with his food. I hope you enjoy them too!
