    Easy Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins

    Published: Mar 7, 2018 · Modified: May 30, 2023 · By: Joe Duff

    Breakfast just got better! These Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins are an absolute game changer.

    And I say game changer for three specific reasons...

    Number one, these breakfast muffins are incredibly easy to make. Like, one bowl kind of easy. Yep, all you have to do is add all the ingredients into just one bowl and bake.

    Number two, each one of these banana oatmeal muffins has only about 150 calories. Yeah, that's a pretty unbelievable calorie count on a muffin that tastes this good. And this isn't some tiny muffin either, this is a legit medium sized muffin.

    Number three, they're extremely versatile. You could add chocolate chips to these muffins, protein powder, or even some extra peanut butter, and they'd still be just as delicious.

    Banana Oatmeal Breakfast Muffins Pro-Tips

    • Use a food scale to be as accurate as possible measuring out the ingredients
    • Opt for almond milk to keep the calories lower in your muffins
    • Go with a low sugar or calorie free (I really like this one) maple syrup to keep the carbs lower
    • Using peanut flour/powder (like this one) instead of using regular peanut butter can save you a ton of calories - that's what I did
    • I used this sugar substitute in my muffins, and they were sweetened perfectly
    • And you'll definitely need a muffin pan (like this one) to bake your muffins in

    The book is a detailed weight loss guide that shows you step-by-step how to build a weight loss plan specifically for you.

The spreadsheet will also alert you when you need to make adjustments to your diet so you can continue losing weight, and avoid those annoying plateaus.

    I started tracking my macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat intake) over 6 years ago - and I've lost over 70lbs because of it! Not only have I lost the weight, I've kept it off too. Plus, I didn't eliminate any foods from my diet to do it- and neither will you!
