Ingredients

•  8 slices turkey bacon (leg meat, without nitrates, uncured)
•  2 eggs
•  1 egg white
•  1/ cup skim milk
•  1 cup reduced fat cheddar

Dry Ingredients

•  2 cups oat flour
•  1 tbsp baking powder
•  1 tsp sea salt
•  1/2 tbsp sage
•  2 tbsp coconut oil
• 1/4  red bell pepper, chopped
• 1 cup chopped spinach
• nonstick cooking spray

Method

Step 1: Set oven to 350ºF and place a nonstick skillet on medium high heat and toss in turkey bacon. To get crispier bacon without burning it, spray it with a little olive oil (or cooking spray) while it cooks in the skillet. When the bacon has finished cooking, chop it into pieces.

Step 2: If you don’t have oat flour, then you can easily make it. Simply place rolled oats in a blender or food processor and blend until you create flour.

Step 3: In a large bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredients with a fork, then toss in the remaining ingredients and mix together thoroughly using a spatula.

Step 4: Spray a muffin mold with nonstick cooking spray, then evenly divide the batter among the muffin molds.

Step 5: Bake in the oven for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean after you pierce a muffin.

Sage Improves Your Memory

This is a herb that isn’t used half as much as it should be. It’s a powerful elixir for your thoughts and can even protect against the ravages of Alzheimer’s disease and improve memory, found research in Pharmacology Biochemistry Behavior. It’s also been shown to protect against diabetes and high cholesterol, so don’t worry if you add a little too much of this herb because you’ll be better for it.

Turkey Bacon Boosts Bone Density

Flipping the bird is a smart option if you’re a sportsman. Just 100g will give you 46% of your daily phosphorous needs. This mineral is used to build healthy bones and teeth while being instrumental in how your body processes protein and uses carbs and fats. If you’re looking for more energy and a clean protein, this is the one that’ll get you on the score sheet.

Oats Energise Your Workouts

So common in most people’s diets, it’s easy to forget just how powerful this carbohydrate source can be. Just 100g will give you a staggering 246% of your daily manganese requirements, a mineral responsible for keeping your bone strong and improving your metabolic rate. Plus you’ll get plenty of B vitamins that’ll make sure you’re flush with energy each time you eat one of these muffins.
