Fruit and Veg Muffins


2 eggs
1/2 cup canola oil
1/2 cup rapurda
1 cup oat milk
1 cup grated zucchini, 1 normal size (not GMO) will be approximately 1 cup
2 cups shredded carrot
1/3 cup honey or agave nectar
2 cups raw oatmeal
2 cups wholemeal spelt flour
1/2 cup Bob's Red Mill RIGHT STUFF Cereal
2 tsp baking powder
2 tsp cinnamon
1 apple or pear skinned and chopped

Heat oven to 175C/400F

In a bowl whisk together eggs, oil and rapurda, add in milk, zucchini, carrot, honey or agave and mix well. Add the remaining ingredients and mix until blended.

Line muffin pans with paper baking cups and fill 2/3 full. (I like to use a soup spoon to measure).

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Recipe makes 24-30 muffins

Enjoy!

 This is a recipe I adapted from Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Fruit Muffins. Bob's Red Mill products can be found at most health food stores and some of the larger grocery stores. To find products or other yummy recipes, visit bobsredmill.com

Raw Chocolate Oat Bars




1/2 cup butter or Nuttelex
1/2 cup coconut oil
1/2 cup brown sugar, I used rapurda brown sugar
1/2 cup coconut sugar
2 tbsp agave nectar or honey
2 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup cocoa
2 heaping tbsp cacao
3 cups almond meal
2 cups oatmeal

Mix butter, oil, sugars, honey, vanilla, cocoa and cacao until smooth. Add in almond meal and oats, mix well. Mixture will not stick together at this point. Pour into a baking dish and firmly press into the dish. Refrigerate for 2-4 hours and then cut into bars.

Enjoy!

Health tip, add in 1-2 tbsp of SUPERFOODS FOR KIDZ Berry Choc Chunk it's a great way to boost the antioxidants and photonutrients of theses bars. I found this one at my local health food store in Australia. If you can't find a superfood add in, just add an extra heaping tbsp of cacao.
