BANANA AND OAT FIT MUFFINS (VEGAN-GLUTEN FREE)

Hey guys! Two weeks ago I started a new 3 month exercise plan, as part of the challenge of the Bikini Body ebook guide from Australian trainer Kayla Itsines (@kayla_itsines), who has everyone raving on Instagram. They are basically timed plyo circuits (with resistance, either dumbbells or weight of your body) 3 days a week, and cardio all the other days to burn fat rapidly. This is no joke, they are HARD, but good.

I was investigating about the best types of breakfast (which is also my pre-workout meal), and found that ideally you should mix complex carbs, protein and good fats. Searching, I discovered a good recipe for vegan muffins in the book "Happy Hervibore: Light and Lean" and modified it to make it gluten free and extra fit. Right now is definitely my brekkie addiction (after workout I have my green smoothie with spirulina, chlorella and all the goodies). I usually combine these gems with a teaspoon of almond butter (while I devour), or I add some slivered almonds in them for extra protein and good fats.


Here is the recipe, enjoy!

RECIPE: DELICIOUS MIXED SEED BREAD (GLUTEN FREE)

Since adopting a gluten free diet, I basically chose not to eat bread, since no option in the supermarket caught my attention and they are a bit expensive for their size, not only that, but some have ingredients  that seems unnecessary and don't convince me. For a long time I replaced my bread cravings with brown rice tortillas (store bought), but it's definitely not the same. Some mornings I want my little piece of toast and herbal tea. Searching through blogs I love (I'm still not that skilled with gluten free baking, which is a whole new different world) I found this recipe on deliciouslyella.com, tried it, loved it and decided to share it with you guys.
