Why I Love These Superhero Muffins
Their now-famous Superhero Muffins are a perfect example of this.
Filled with almond meal, oats, vegetables, and warming spices, they make the perfect grab-and-go breakfast.
This recipe is slightly adapted from the original by Kopecky and Flanagan.
My kids love them, too.
What kid wouldnt want to eat superhero fuel for breakfast?
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the almond butter and butter.
Whisk until smooth, then let cool slightly.
Add the eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla, beating to combine.
Fold in the carrot and zucchini until evenly distributed.
Sprinkle the almond flour, oats, cinnamon, ginger, baking soda, and salt on top.
Fold until no streaks of almond flour or other dry ingredients remain.
Add the raisins and stir to combine.
Using a 1/3 cup cookie scoop or measuring cup, evenly distribute the batter into the prepared pan.
Let cool before enjoying.
Customize These Muffins
The genius of this recipe is how infinitely adaptable it is.
Swap honey for maple syrup, or a cup applesauce in place of the grated carrot and zucchini.
you’re free to also play around with the ratio of grated veggies.
The original recipe calls for nutmeg, but my crew prefers the zip of ground ginger instead.
For mix-ins, use whatever dried fruit you prefer.
The original recipe calls for chopped walnuts, but those are a tough sell in my family.
Feel free to add up to 1/2 cup of your favorite nut to give these a nice textural element.
The almond butter can easily be swapped for another nut butter of choice, just verify its unsweetened.
