Energetic & healthy yoghurt

A non-baking alternative to the energy bars recipe that my friend Giorgia tells us about here. (Pshhh, a little secret: read why she is running too, it's a very worthy cause!!!)

• Crushed tea biscuits ("galleta María" style, for Spanish readers)
• Chopped ripe banana
• Chopped strawberries
• Almonds
• Walnuts
• Raisins
• Greek yoghurt
• Honey

Following this order, layer  the ingredients on individual bowls. 
Refrigerate until it's time to eat. 

Banana muffins

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups of self-raising flour (saves you having to buy baking powder & soda)
1/2 teaspoon salt
(*) 3-4 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup brown sugar (it adds a different -nicer- flavour & crunchiness than white sugar)
1 egg
1/3 cup butter, melted

Preheat the over at 250-300 degrees
Melt the butter in a saucepan
Peal & mash the bananas
Add all the ingredients, except the flower & mix well
Add the flour & mix well
Pour the mixture into the containers - I love these silicone ones, non sticky, easy to wash & store!
Bake for 15-20 minutes depending on the size of the containers

This recipe made 8 small muffins + a second batch with 2 more medium ones still baking as I write!

Mmmm, banana muffins for breakfast, anyone?
