Mini muffins are a great little snack to have on hand, these trail mix muffins are packed with so much goodness.
These little bite-size muffins make a great grab-and-go breakfast or a “pick me up” afternoon snack. They are packed with oats, nuts, seeds, and raisins. They are simple to whip up and smell delicious coming out of the oven. They freeze great too. Makes 36 mini muffins at just 33 calories each and 1PP if following WW.
Ingredients used
- Bananas
- Almond milk
- egg
- vanilla extract
- Cinnamon
- Brown sugar
- Oats
- Baking powder
- Raisins
- Almonds
- Coconut flakes
- Pumpkin seeds
The batter will be slightly watery and that is ok. Once baked they firm up. If you wish you can make these into full-size muffins, I’m not sure if the recipe will yield 12 regular-size muffins but it will be close to 12.
Be sure to spray the muffin tin with some nonstick cooking spray, I suggest you do not use mini muffin liners, they will stick to those.
You can freeze these muffins, just dethaw when ready to eat. I like to pop them in the toaster oven to warm them up a little and they even very slightly crisp up which I love.

I have a question about using bananas. I thought I read that the only way a banana is zero points is if you eat it whole. If you use it in smoothies or baked goods, it’s 5 points per banana. Any thoughts? Thanks so much!
Before smart points came out they did have you count for banana’s in recipes then they did some changes when old smart points came out and said fruit in recipes did not count, I personally say do what works best for you, If you don’t count it and it works and you are losing then stick with it, but if you feel it is keeeping you from losing (or maintaining) then start counting for it, I’m not a 100% by the book girl, I do what works best for me and my body 🙂
