Healthy Chocolate Lentil Muffins muffins are very much adored at our house. Easy grab-n-go breakfast for the hubs and healthy easy-to-eat for my toddlers.
Breakfast the favorite meal of the day at our house. And as the breakfast maker, I’m always trying to make fun delicious breakfast meals that my girls are excited for but are also nutritious.
I feel like breakfast gets a bad rap for being super sugary or fatty, but breakfast can totally be delicious and good for you. For us, weekday breakfast are all about easy, make ahead and healthy. Some of our favorites include:
- healthy pancakes (oatmeal, pumpkin, fruit filled)
- french toast (with a little maple syrup)
- yogurt and homemade granola
- avocado toast
- eggs
- oatmeal
- and… MUFFINS!
We have been on a muffin kick for some time now! I love making a dozen muffins on the weekend and my kiddos munch on them all week long! They eat them for breakfast or snack and I love them at night when I’m craving a little dessert.
My muffins for the girls are usually packed with protein and fiber along with tasty treats like chocolate chips or fruit. Today though I’m excited to share an ingredient I had not tried in muffins until recently, LENTILS!
I know what you are thinking. I thought lentils in a baked good sounded pretty strange too, but it is essentially flavorless and lends to a moist soft muffin. Personally I love it because my littles get lots of healthy and protein packed lentils in their day in a fun way.
Sweetness from the bananas, texture from the oatmeal and extra yumminess from the chocolate make these a really special treat!
I’ve mad ethese muffins a few times now and each time they get devoired! Personally I like make with a little peanut butter but my girls prefer them just as they are!
So forget the sugary cereal and pop tarts, chocolate lentil muffins are the fun and healthy way to go!
