Breakfast muffins.
Make muffins healthier with mashed banana and apple sauce for natural sweetness, plus blueberries and seeds for an extra nutritious hit.
Method
- Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a 12-hole muffin tin with 12 large muffin cases. In a jug, mix the eggs, yogurt, oil, apple sauce, banana, honey and vanilla. Tip the remaining ingredients, except the seeds, into a large bowl, add a pinch of salt and mix to combine.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry and mix briefly until you have a smooth batter – don’t over mix as this will make the muffins heavy. Divide the batter between the cases. Sprinkle the muffins with the extra oats and the seeds. Bake for 25-30 mins until golden and well risen, and a skewer inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean. Remove from the oven, transfer to a wire rack and leave to cool. Can be stored in a sealed container for up to 3 days.

1 clove of garlic
1/2 of split red lentils
Cut the butternut squash in blocks of 2 inches and roast them in a hot oven for 20 minutes. Put the vegetables with some olive oil and garlic in a pan. Leave the pan over the fire until the vegetables become semitransparent. Combine the vegetables with the lentils, flavorings, and the stock. Simmer for half an hour. Put aside and permit them to cool. When cold, put the mix in a blender and process it until obtaining a puree. This vegetable soup should be reheated gently before serving.
Tips:
You can serve this split lentil soup with croutons made from 1 clove of garlic and 5 thick slices of bread. Remove the crust, cut the slices in crouton - sized pieces and cook them in some garlic and olive oil until they become brown.
In this vegan butternut squash soup recipe you can replace the lentils with peas, in order to make a split pea soup.
