Muffin In A Mug
A single serve muffin in a mug – ready in under 5 minutes!
I love making overnight oats, but when I haven’t made them the night before, or if I want a warmer breakfast and a treat at the same time, I make this breakfast muffin in a mug! Make one for each person as no one will want to share!
Of course, this starts with oats – oat flour actually. I really wonder where I would be without oats in my life!
Oats are a nutrient dense, gluten free whole grain, high in fiber and higher amounts of protein than other grains and oats are a rich source of manganese (essential for metabolism, supports bone health and provides immune support), phosphorous (supports healthy cells and boosts energy levels) and vitamin B1 – thiamin (helps the body convert carbohydrates to glucose which creates energy fuel for your body and efficiently metabolizes fats and proteins).
Hemp Hearts and Flax Me al are rich in essential fatty acids, a good source of fiber, hemp hearts a high-quality plant-based protein source, and contain vitamins and minerals to support the immune system, cardiovascular and system and cell health, nerve health and muscle function and health, heart health, digestion, calms the mind, aids in restful sleep support, supports blood glucose levels and blood pressure regulating, supports bone health.
Blueberries – are a superfood, little powerhouses of incredible nutrition, loaded with antioxidants, are anti-inflammatory, do not spike blood sugar, are a rich source of VitC, Manganese, VitK, contain the mineral folate and are fiber-rich.
As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your Muffin in a Mug goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!
