Who loves this time of the year? I sure do, I feel like the New Year always brings me motivation to live happier and a reset in life. This year I have made it a point to make my focus on my dreams – maybe you could say my word of 2016 is DREAM. When I started planning my dreams for what I see myself doing in 2016 a lot of those plans have to do with personal growth, health and our family. To start focusing on those dreams I started using my new life planner that I adore – okay, maybe I am a little obsessed with my planner.
As I started writing down my professional goals I started thinking about how I want to present in person and decided that one way I know I look and feel better is by consuming more water through out the day. I decided to get a little crafty on my own and make some fun stickers to add to my planner to track my daily water intake. Cute right? So simple to make too and they are really helping me track the water I drink all day.
When I am really focused on my health and eating better I also feel better and one area that I really struggle with that is for breakfast. I make my kids a good breakfast every morning before school but never really think about myself. NOT GOOD! I end up stopping at the coffee shop for coffee and a pastry. Yikes. By 11am I am dragging and ready for a nap – this girl needs protein!
Solution – make a delicious coffee shop treat with a Jif Peanut Powder twist that is packed full of protein with 85% less fat than traditional peanut butter!
3. Mash banana well with a fork into a medium mixing bowl.
4. Add oil, egg, milk, and vanilla and mix well with the banana.
5. Add flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda to bowl and stir until just combined.
6. Add oats to the mixture and stir.
7. In a small microwave safe bowl melt chocolate chips in microwave for 30-45 seconds. Stir until smooth. Let chocolate cool slightly.
8. Take half of the batter and pour into a small mixing bowl. Add melted chocolate to one half of the batter – mix well.
9. Add Jif Peanut Powder to the remaining batter and mix well.
10. Fill each muffin liner with each batter – chocolate and peanut butter.
11. Swirl batters together with a toothpick or spoon.
12. Bake for 15-18 minutes or until toothpick inserted comes out clean.
13. Enjoy warm or freeze muffins for easy on the go breakfast options.
These Chocolate Peanut Butter Swirl Muffins are so yummy and really filling. Every morning that I take one of these to work and focus on drinking my water through out the day I feel full of energy! Great for those busy work days.
We have started using Jif Peanut Powder in all kinds of baking recipes and smoothies. Jif Peanut Powder has only one ingredient – fresh roasted peanuts! Makes sense right? So you do not have to worry about the addition of sugar or salt like other peanut powders. Simple beneficial peanuts with out extras and less fat! Plus it makes our smoothies and baked goodies taste even better.

I''m loving this peanut powder for adding extra punch to our snacks around here. I can't wait to add this recipe to the line up! The water printable is awesome too! I"m guilty of drinking too much coffee and not enough water this time of year!
who wouldn't love to wake up to muffins like this in the morning? I love the sheet to mark off how much water I am drinking. I get really bad about remembering to drink water – this sheet would help
That's a wonderful way to track water consumption! I actually really need to drink more water so I could totally use that as a reminder throughout the day. Those muffins look amazing! I recently learned about Jif Peanut Powder and I look forward to trying it!

Great idea to include a water tracker! I fail when it comes to consuming the appropriate daily water I need. And yum! Those muffins look like a great treat – I can see having that for breakfast or a post-gym energy boost! {client}
