I take quite a lot of vitamins and other nutrients, insoluble fibre, MCT and omega 3-6s oils, CoQ10. Some can be taken as pills, some are powders. It’s a bit of a faff to ingest them all. Let me introduce you to one of my creations: the Ubermuffin<\/i>. Breakfast Food of Champions, and half-arsed lefties.<\/p>\n
One time I had a job that involved long hours and getting up early in the morning to commute. I didn’t have time for breakfast, and I wasn’t able to take my pills, etc, so I decided to combine the ones that would withstand heat (that is, not Vitamin C, for example) into one weekly-baked superfood.<\/p>\n
Enter the Ubermuffin. You bake them, then take them out of the fridge, pop them in the microwave, and use some olive spread and\/or Manuka honey and eat on the run. The 30 second breakfast.<\/p>\n
Recipe:<\/strong><\/p>\n (Note, these are guidelines \u2013 put in whatever you prefer). Preparation time, around 20 minutes but easily cut in half when you know what you are doing. This produces a slightly savoury muffin, but if you prefer sweeter, add more sweetener or sugar.<\/p>\n The base is wholemeal flour. With added dried or fresh fruit, and various other ingredients.<\/p>\n Makes 4-6 muffins.<\/p>\n 100g wholemeal flour<\/p>\n 50g mixed oats, rye flakes, coconut flour \u2013 I used to add a tsp of psyllium husks, but feel there is enough fibre in them now not to bother.<\/p>\n \u00bd tsp potassium bicarbonate<\/p>\n \u00bd tsp baking powder (or just use all baking powder= more baking powder gives you a lighter, fluffier muffin)<\/p>\n fresh blueberries<\/p>\n raisins or other dried fruit<\/p>\n 1 tbsp yeast flakes (B vitamins)<\/p>\n 3 1000mg calcium\/magnesium tablets (crushed)<\/p>\n 200 ml almond or oat drink or milk, or water, your preference.<\/p>\n 1 free range egg.<\/p>\n Chia and sesame seeds.<\/p>\n Add 1 tbsp of rapeseed or MCT oil<\/p>\n Mix in a mixing bowl, pour the mixture into whatever baking containers you prefer. Ramekins, tart casings, anything will do.<\/p>\n Sprinkle nuts or seeds on top of the mixture and pop in the oven.<\/p>\n Bake for 15-20 mins at Gas Mark 5, 375\u00ba<\/span>F, 190<\/span>\u00baC<\/span>. If you want a crispy top, wait till they are set, spray them with oil and turn the heat up for five minutes at the end.<\/p>\n When cool they are ready to eat. They keep a few days in the fridge or you can freeze them and reheat in the microwave.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I take quite a lot of vitamins and other nutrients, insoluble fibre, MCT and omega 3-6s oils, CoQ10.
