Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a mini muffin tin or line it with mini muffin liners.
- In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add 1 cup of multi-grain oatmeal, 1 tsp of baking powder, 1 tsp of ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp of stevia leaf sweetener. Mix well to ensure all the dry ingredients are combined.
- In another bowl, combine 3/4 cup of Greek yogurt, 3/4 cup of cooked and mashed butternut squash, 1 tsp of maple syrup, 1 tsp of vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of nonfat milk. Stir until smooth and all the ingredients are well incorporated.
- Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry mixture. Stir until just combined. Ensure that the oatmeal is evenly distributed throughout the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared mini muffin tin. Fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full to allow space for rising.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven. Allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your butternut squash oatmeal mini muffins as a healthy snack or breakfast option!
Tips:
- For added flavor, consider mixing in a handful of chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter before baking.
- Make sure to use a finely grated butternut squash to ensure it blends well with the other ingredients.
- To ensure even baking, use a mini muffin tin and fill each cup to about three-quarters full.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely, ensuring they stay intact.
- For a vegan version, substitute the Greek yogurt with a plant-based yogurt, and use a non-dairy milk of your choice.
Voila! Your butternut squash oatmeal mini muffins are ready to enjoy. These muffins are a wonderful blend of flavorful and nutritious ingredients, making them a perfect option for a healthy snack or a breakfast on the go.
