This recipe is for those veggie haters who need a sneaky way of getting a dose of greens. These beauties are made with healthy ingredients including gluten free oats, almonds, zucchini and baby spinach. Top it off with some granola and you have a deliciously healthy and homemade snack, you’ll never look back.
Before we turn on the ovens, a quick word about shop-bought muffins.
In my opinion, these should be renamed to sugar bombs. They are full of artificial and highly processed ingredients, with hardly any nutritional benefits, therefor, a very unhealthy choice. These healthy Almond and Oatmeal muffins are easy to prepare, tastes great, and can be frozen for a great lunch packed addition, so it’s easy stay on track.
If your a lover of muffins this is for you. There are endless variations that you can include in the muffin and on top.
Enjoy the recipe, happy baking.

Healthy Almond and Oatmeal Muffins
Healthy Almond and Oatmeal Muffins, made with a secret serving of greens and topped with granola! A delicious snack or breakfast on-the-go.
Ingredients
- 1 zucchini, chopped
- 70g baby soinach
- 2 free range or organic eggs
- 50g gluten free oats (about 1/2 cup)
- 100g Almonds
- 1 scoop protien powder
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/4 cup granola, to serve
- 20g dried dates, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180°. Lightly grease muffin tray with oil (I use coconut).
- Put all ingredients except dates and granola in a blender or processer to combine. If its too dry and wont mix then you can add in a few tablespoons of water at a time to liquify the mixture.
- Mix through the dates, then divide the mixture evenly in the muffin cases so that they are 2/3 full. Bake for 20 minutes.
- Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack. Spread a small amount of honey and top with a handful of granola, before setting in the fridge.
