Candy Cane Blender Muffins
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup brown sugar
- 3/4 cup Greek yogurt
- ¼ cup almond butter
- ½ cup milk or milk alternative
- 2½ cups quick oats
- ⅓ cup cocoa powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ¼ tsp peppermint extract
- 4 candy canes, divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins with baking spray.
- Add all ingredients to a high powered blender, except 2 of the candy canes. Blend well.
- Pour batter evenly into muffin tins.
- Put remaining 2 candy canes into a bag & crush. Sprinkle pieces on top of the muffins.
- Bake for 14 - 16 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Do not over bake or they will dry out!
Notes
If you like a sweeeet muffin, be sure to add lots of crushed candy canes to the top - as these muffins are similar in sweetness to the gingerbread muffins.
