I always feel guilty dumping the pulp from my juicer into the compost bin, which is why I thought the moist pulp would be the perfect addition to a breakfast muffin. A quick search online made me realize I wasn't the first genius to think that idea up. So here goes: these are what I deem THE BEST JUICER MUFFINS in the world— tried and tested by me, my family, and my dog. We approve—let's hope you do too!
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
- 2 1/3 cups rolled oats
- 3 tablespoons sunflower seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 5 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- 1 cup nut or soy milk
- 2 large free-range eggs
- 2 bananas
- 5 ounces jucier pulp
- 3 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 tablespoons raw cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1/2 cup coconut oil
- Pinch sea salt
- 2 tablespoons raw cacao nibs or bee pollen
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and line a 12-hole muffin pan with cupcake liners.
- Mix all the dry ingredients together in a large mixing bowl and make a well in the center. In a large measuring cup, whisk together the syrup, milk, eggs, bananas, juicer pulp, and coconut oil. Pour the wet ingredient mixture into the dry ingredients and fold through until just combined.
- Divide the mixture among the individual cupcake liners and bake for 25 minutes, or until they have risen and a skewer inserted in the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool completely on a wire rack while you prepare the glaze.
- In a bowl, whisk together the cocoa powder, honey, and coconut oil until you have a smooth mixture. If the coconut oil is still warm, allow the mix to cool slightly before glazing.
- Spread each muffin with a heaping teaspoon of the glaze and sprinkle with sea salt, cacao nibs, or bee pollen. The muffins will keep for 5 days in an airtight container.
