I don’t know about you, but often it seems that however I begin the day — whether it’s with a healthy or not-so-healthy breakfast — it usually sets the tone for the rest of the day.  I love my Green Monster Energy Blast for breakfast, it’s my favorite way to start my day. But I know for some this isn’t quite enough to get you going in the early morning hours. Especially for those that commute to work and need a healthy alternative in the “grab and go” category. These vegan blueberry banana spelt muffins are just for you!

It’s not a surprise that this recipe turned out to be absolutely delicious!  The blueberries and bananas in this recipe give it a natural sweetness. Definitely not as sweet and buttery as the processed store-bought blueberry muffins (that are often loaded with butter/oil, eggs, milk, and a ton of sugar), but I thought my healthier twist was still completely satisfying.  I especially loved the hint of lemon in the mix — delicious, a perfect touch of tangy zest :)

These plant-based blueberry muffins would make for a lovely brunch or weekend breakfast item too. They are also sweet enough to be enjoyed as a dessert but still subtle enough to maintain your sugars before whining down before bed.

I often give these to my kids as a mid-day snack with some sliced apples and almond butter. This makes their day!

Oh and these vegan blueberry banana spelt muffins aren’t just delicious, they are ridiculously simple to make.

Just basic ingredients and methods are required. Lately, I’ve been using sprouted spelt flour for most of my baked goods but if you’re gluten-intolerant just substitute the flour for your favorite gluten-free alternative.
