Hi,
I follow posts in this Support group all the time but this is my first time posting.
I'm trying to lose weight and I know how important it is to eat in the morning for your metabilism. But Mornings are way too hectic for me, so I'm trying to find easy, delicious but at the same time filling and providing lasting energy shake recipes.

(makes 2 dozen)
Ingredients:
4 ripe bananas (medium size)
1 pound whole strawberries
2 1/2 cups Quaker 1-minute oats
3/4 cup milled flax seed
1/4 cup healthy oil (1 1/2 cups of ground flax can be
used instead of this oil. Then 1 muffin meets the FDA minimum req.
omega-3)
2 cups no-fat milk
2 lg eggs (or just the whites if you like)
2 1/2 cups whole Wheat flour
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar (or splenda, even better)
1 cup chopped walnuts
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt (for presevation in the freezer)
Directions:
Soak the oats in the milk in a small bowl to soften them.
In big bowl mash the strawberries and bananas with a masher.
Add the rest of the ingredients except oil and mix well.
Mix in the oats from the other bowl.
Mix in oil.
Bake at 475 degrees in a preheated oven for 15 minutes.
I spray the miffin pans real good with Crisco's butter flavored canola
oil. The muffins get nice and brown, has a buttery taste and the pans
clean up easy.
45 seconds in the microwave from the freezer gets you a very healthy,
low calorie for all of the nutrients treat. High in fiber, protein and
omega-3 and many other nutrients. Does a body good.
