Low-Sugar Banana Muesli Breakfast Muffins

I do enjoy a good muffin now again, but I’m picky.  I like a muffin to have great flavor, be moist, not too sweet, relatively healthy, and memorable.  That’s a lot to expect from a muffin.  With this in mind, I decided to create a muffin using one of my favorite cereals, muesliBob Red Mill has a truly fantastic muesli I recently discovered and it was perfect for my muffins. Any muesli can work in this recipe, but Bob’s is particularly good and has a great balance of flavors and textures which I love. These are yummy banana muesli muffins and subtle enough for those who are not huge banana fans like my boys.

Muesli (pronounced Mews-le) is a fiber-and-protein rich breakfast based on raw, rolled oats, but today it has evolved into so much more.  Loaded with nuts, seeds, fruits, vitamins, and iron, this protein-rich cereal surpasses all other breakfast cereals around. Muesli is often compared to granola, but truly it should not be, it is so much more.  Muesli is typically substantially lower in sugar with fewer calories and the high fiber component makes it a filling one.

My love of muesli cannot be hidden I know, I rediscovered it when in Iceland and I have not turned back.  The muesli topping on these moist, low-sugar muffins elevates this tasty muffin to a whole other playing field—a memorable one and their kid-approved if I’m not conveyancing enough.  Whatever your New Year’s Eve plans may be, kick-off 2018 with these tasty, guilt-free banana muesli muffins, trust me, you won’t regret it.
