We love this vegan breakfast recipe for so many reasons. Least of which is the sneaky inclusion of an entire bottle of Mama Chia’s seed-filled drink. The rest of the ingredient list is packed with nutrition too, including almond butter and a freshly smashed banana.
If you’ve never tried a chia-based cookie or muffin before, this is a recipe to try! The moisture-absorbing seeds create great texture and pack a punch of delicious and healthy omega-3s plus protein. Serve up a batch for a lucky morning meeting or as a fun twist for an upcoming brunch spread. Serve topped with an extra dollop of almond butter and a slice of banana, plus a cold glass of almond milk!
Mamma Chia Banana Breakfast Muffins
Created by Sage Gordon
Makes 10 – 12 muffins
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups organic whole wheat pastry flour
3/4 cup organic oats
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp organic cinnamon
1/4 cup organic agave nectar
1/4 cup organic almond butter
1 cup organic banana, mashed
1 bottle Raspberry Passion Mamma Chia
Directions:
In a small bowl, whisk together wet ingredients: agave nectar, almond butter, mashed banana, and Mamma Chia. In a medium bowl, combine dry ingredients: wheat pastry flour, oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Add wet to dry and mix until evenly moistened.
For smaller muffins, divide evenly into a 12-cup muffin tin. Can also make 10 large muffins in larger muffin tin. Paper muffin cups recommended.
Bake at 400 degrees for about 18 minutes, or until a wooden toothpick comes out clean.
I live in New Zealand, I can’t get Mamma Chia drinks or nay sort of Chia drinks. Is there another way to can I make this?
Hi Esther, Mamma Chia drinks are sold in 10 FL OZ bottles – it might take a bit of experimentation, but we suspect that using the same measurements of a berry or passion fruit juice + chia seed combo would yield similar results. Good luck!
I would love it if you would post the calorie count of dishes you post.
Hi JanJamm, we will definitely provide nutritional information whenever it is available to us!
What is Mamma Chia? I live in Lincoln, Ca, northern california. Where can I get this stuff?
is oat bran the same as organic oats? this recipe looks really good and healthy 🙂
Hi Sam, organic oats and oat bran are not the same…although both delicious! You can find oat bran at your local grocery story or co-op in the same aisle (or bulk bin section) as organic oats.
oh okay, but can I use oat bran instead of organic oats for the recipe above? 🙂
