Hopefully, you answered yes and yes to the two questions above, because that means that this post is totally perfect for you.

A Single Serving Muffin recipe and a chance to win some tea!

Awesome.

You know the other great thing about today's post?

It could result in the ultimate healthy and delicious breakfast. Tea, which contains antioxidants, and an oatmeal muffin, which contains, well, oats, my favorite breakfast food ever.

So, you see, hidden in this post could very well be the recipe for the perfect morning.  And that is a very valuable recipe, my friends.  I suggest you read on.

Let's get into the details, shall we?

First, the giveaway.

The people from Celestial Seasonings (remember, they're awesome) have kindly supplied 3 boxes of tea and a cute little teapot.  Those gifts will go out to one lucky person.

(oh, look, peach blossom is a flavor. I wonder what you could do with that... )

The giveaway is now closed.

Congratulations to Gena, our winner!

Now, onto the yummy stuff.

You don't have to wait 2 weeks for this delcious breakfast (thank god), you can whip it up in just 2 minutes!

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Muffin

(makes 1 serving)

• 3 tbsp old-fashioned oats
• 1 tbsp flaxmeal
• 1 tbsp whole wheat flour (or protein powder)
• 1 or 2 tsp sugar (When I made this for breakfast, I left out the sugar all together)
• pinch baking powder
• 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/2 bag Celestial Seasonings Apple Cinnamon Tea (any type of tea should work.  I made a cherry flavored muffin too, and it was delicious)
• 4-5 tbsp water

Mix together oats, flaxmeal, flour, sugar, and baking powder in a small bowl.  Add in half the contents of the tea bag (actually open it up and pour in the leaves, as this adds tons of flavor) and mix again.  Pour in vanilla extract and water and stir well.  Spray a small microwave safe dish or ramekin and pour batter in.  Microwave for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes or until muffin is firm to the touch.  Let cool before trying to remove from dish.  Top with whipped cream or fruit and enjoy!

Alright guys, that's it for today.

Enter the giveaway, make a muffin, and have a wonderful day :)
