Dr. Ashley’s HEALTHY Morning Muffins
These muffins make mornings a celebration. They are delicious, they are sweet, they are full of flavour and (more importantly in my opinion) they are filled with nutrition and protein. The added protein powder ensures that your blood sugar won’t spike and crash, and the eggs act as both a binder and another source of protein. I fill mine with blueberries, rhubarb and cranberries but you can fill with what ever you’d like!
The other great thing about these muffins is that they’re incredibly easy to make, and they’re gluten-free and dairy-free. No more separating your liquids and your dry ingredients… everything goes into a blender and then the fruit and almonds are just added in at the end. This means less mess and less cleanup.

I love these muffins!! They keep you full, and are so easy to make! I omit the rhubarb and almonds, and add extra blueberries. I also add 6 tablespoons of coconut oil to the batter.
