Super Breakfast Muffin Recipe made with Oatmeal, Carrot and Blueberry, gluten free, egg free, sugar free

Sometimes life gets busy and I forget to eat right! If I'm running out the door in the morning and if there's nothing easily portable, like a muffin or yogurt, I'll go without breakfast. Not a great thing to do,  but that's what happens when you are gluten free and you can't stop at McDonald's!
So I made up this recipe with all of my favorite breakfast ingredients in one easy to carry delicious little package and I call it my Super Muffin. It gives me fiber, vegetables, protein, tons of vitamins, and these wonderful gluten-free muffins fill me up!

Healthy, tons of nutrition and they taste like an oatmeal cookie! Super yummy.

You can substitute almost any flour for the oat flour or for low carb try almond or hazelnut flour. Make sure you dough is very thick and feel free playing with the add-ins.

1. Shred the carrots and set on several layers of paper towels to drain.

3. In a deep medium bowl, combine the ground chia and mashed bananas. Let sit to gel for 10 minutes. 
4. Add the coconut oil  to the banana mixture and mix with a hand mixer for a minute until fluffed up. 
5. Now using a large wooden spoon or spatula, stir in the vinegar, carrots, stevia or honey, nuts, and slowly add the flour mixture. Stir gently until fully incorporated.
