Banana Apple Muffins



With a toddler in the house, I am constantly fighting the battle over food. One day he loves something, the next day won't touch it. So variety is what we need! This is a great breakfast or snack idea for the whole family! I especially love these muffins because they are carb free...yes that is right no carbs!! 

                                 

Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 cup mashed banana (I used to medium bananas)
- 1 tbsp organic grass-fed butter (melted)
- 1.5 cups almond flour 
- 3/4 tsp baking soda
- 1 dash sea salt
- 1/2 cup peeled and chopped apple (I used my ninja chopper to make the apple pieces small since we have the little guy)



Directions:
- Preheat oven to 350 F
- Place nine muffin holders in the pan or spray with non-stick spray
- Combine eggs, banana, and butter in bowl. Mix well.
- In a separate bowl combine almond flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well.
- Add both mixtures together. Mix until blended.
- Add chopped apple to mixture. Mix well.
- Divide the batter evenly between the 9 cups. 
- Bake 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. I use a toothpick in the center of the muffin, if nothing is on there when you pull it out, they are done!
- Let cool.

This is considered 1 fruit serving and 1 healthy fat serving! Enjoy this treat!

Turkey Burger and Sweet Potato Chips


The other night I was really craving a burger, so instead of going out to a restaurant and over doing it, I decided to make homemade turkey burgers. And what goes great with a burger, fries! I love sweet potatoes and there so many different ways to prepare them and they can be paired with almost every meal. I made sweet potato chips to go with our turkey burgers. I will share both recipes so you can enjoy a healthy meal that taste amazing!!



Turkey Burger Ingredients:
- 12oz raw ground lean turkey meat (thawed)
- 3/4 medium onion finely chopped (I used my ninja chopper to get the onions really small)
- 2 large egg whites (1/4 cup)
- 1 tbsp fresh chopped parsley
- 1 tsp hot sauce

Directions:
- Preheat oven at 375 F
- Combine all the ingredients listed above together in a medium bowl; mix well.
- Form turkey burger patties.
- Cook in oven till burger is to your liking!

Sweet Potato Chip Ingredients:
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, thinly slices (this makes 4 servings) I soaked mine in water for a few hours to make them crispier.
- 2 tsp extra-virgin organic olive oil or coconut oil (melted)
- sea salt

Directions:
- Preheat oven to 200 F
- Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Place sweet potatoes on baking sheet in a single layer.
- Sprinkle with oil and sea salt.
- Bake until crisp.

I mashed up an avocado and placed it on top of my burger...HEAVENLY!! Enjoy this amazing dinner with the whole family! Subscribe to my blog for more recipes and tips!
