I love this recipe! It's so full of yummy ingredients,
You won't be disappointed!
Morning Glory Muffins
Substitute apricots or raisins for chopped pitted dates, if you like. The dried fruits, nuts, oatmeal, wheat bran, and whole wheat flour contribute plenty of fiber to each muffin. Complete your breakfast with fat-free yogurt and fruit.
Yield
18 servings (serving size: 1 muffin)
Ingredients
•Cooking spray
•1 cup whole wheat flour (about 4 3/4 ounces)
•1/2 cup all-purpose flour (about 2 1/4 ounces)
•1 cup regular oats
•3/4 cup packed brown sugar
•1 tablespoon wheat bran
•2 teaspoons baking soda
•1/4 teaspoon salt
•1 cup plain fat-free yogurt
•1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2)
•1 large egg
•1 cup chopped pitted dates
•3/4 cup chopped walnuts
•1/2 cup chopped dried pineapple
•3 tablespoons ground flaxseed (about 2 tablespoons whole)
Preparation
Preheat oven to 350°.
Place 18 muffin cups liners in muffin cups; coat liners with cooking spray.
Lightly spoon flours into dry measuring cups, and level with a knife. Combine flours and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a large bowl; stir with a whisk. Make a well in center of mixture. Combine yogurt, banana, and egg; add to flour mixture, stirring just until moist. Fold in dates, walnuts, and pineapple. Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups. Sprinkle evenly with flaxseed. Bake at 350° for 20 minutes or until muffins spring back when touched lightly in center. Remove muffins from pans immediately; cool on a wire rack.

Yum, I ate another one of these after my workout tonight! I think these are my new favorite muffin. So healthy and so so so delicious. I love getting a bite of pineapple. Yum. Can you just make a batch for me once a week and I'll eat them for breakfast every day??! Sounds like a plan to me. Thanks for sharing tonight, Kelli!
