In need of a quick on-the-go breakfast that you can prep in advance? From The Body Coach's Veggie 90-Day Plan, these delicious little muffins are perfect to help you power through until lunch time. The spicy cinnamon energises every bite, while the creamy banana and yoghurt makes for a soft and moist muffin.

If you're a super-organised girl or guy on the go, then you can even freeze these beauties for breakfasts weeks in advance.

2. Mix together the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, desiccated coconut, bicarbonate of soda and salt in a bowl and the make a well in the middle of the mix.

3. Blend the rest of the ingredients (except the bananas) until you hav a smooth mix.

4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and fold together to form a smooth batter.

  • The older the banana, the better the muffin as they get sweeter with age — yum!
