Australian Blueberry & Chia Breakfast Muffins

These muffins are fibre rich, nutrient dense and they also taste delicious. They can be enjoyed as a breakfast on the go with a dollop of nut butter or ricotta. Recipe @JSHealth

Ingredients (serves 6)

1.5 cups Almond meal
1 cup Buckwheat flour
2 tbsp Chia seeds
2 tsp Baking powder
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Sea salt
2 cups Fresh Australian blueberries (to serve)
3 Eggs (to serve)
1/2 cup Greek yoghurt (to serve)
1/4 cup Maple syrup (to serve)
1 tsp Vanilla extract (to serve)

Method

Preheat the oven to 180°C. Line a 12-cup muffin tray with 6 paper muffin cups.
Combine all of the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs. Add in the Greek yoghurt, maple syrup and vanilla. Whisk until incorporated.
Make a well in the dry ingredients and pour the wet ingredients in. Stir to combine.
Spoon ⅓ of the batter into the muffin cups. Sprinkle ⅓ of the Australian blueberries on top, gently pressing them into the batter. Repeat this process with the remaining batter and Australian blueberries. Top the muffins with a sprinkle of chia seeds.
Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the muffins are cooked through.
Keep stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Alternatively, wrap each muffin individually and freeze them for up to 1 month. Defrost and warm before eating.
Notes For a plant-based alternative: Replace the eggs with 3 chia or flaxseed eggs. For a dairy-free alternative: Replace the Greek yoghurt with coconut yoghurt.

Notes

Perfect activity for kids to get involved in during the school holidays.

This is a great idea for breakfast on the go! I am not a huge fan of blueberries, but you could easily use raspberries or blackberries instead and the recipe includes chia and buckwheat, so does sound pretty healthy too. I love the addition of the yoghurt and maple syrup too!

I’d love to try these but not easy to get hold of the ingredients living in a rural area

  All the ingredients are available at Coles and Woolworths, or do you shop at different shops ?

This recipe looks good, but why would you add all the sugar to a wonderful ingredient in the first place? Just eat your magnificent blueberries as they are with a dollop of cream or ice-cream.

  I don’t see sugar in the ingredient list ? It does have a 1/4 cup of maple syrup though
