Ingredients

2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (1.5 cups ground, 1 cup whole)
2-3 large overripe bananas (1 cup mashed or 1 cup applesauce)
2 large eggs lightly beaten
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup milk
2 tsp real vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Chukar® Grain Free Cherry Granola
Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves

Directions

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Place oats on a baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, stirring once (about 4-6 minutes). Remove from oven and let cool to room temperature.
Turn oven heat up to 350 degrees F.
Place 1 1/2 cups of oats in a food processor and blend/pulse until they reach a rough, flour like consistency.
Mash bananas well, they should have no lumps. Add eggs, honey, milk, and vanilla. Mix to combine. Add dry ingredients (including the ground oats and 1 cup whole oats) to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Allow to sit for 10 minutes to soak the oats.
Fold in 3/4 cup of Chukar® Grain Free Cherry Granola and about 1/3 of the bag of cherries (enclosed in the energy mix).
Drip a spoonful of batter into a muffin tin, lined with cupcake liners. Spread a small spoonful of Chukar® Sweet Cherry Preserves onto the top of each cup of batter. Sprinkle with additional Chukar® Grain Free Cherry Granola.
Bake at 350 degrees F for about 20-23 minutes, a toothpick in the center of a muffin should come out clean.
