A Health Coach is a supportive mentor and wellness authority who works with clients to help them feel their best through food and lifestyle changes. Instead of prescribing one diet or way of exercising, Health Coaches tailor individualized wellness programs to meet their clients' needs.

Relationships, exercise, career, and spirituality are just as important to your health as the food you eat. Health Coaches understand this and take a holistic approach to supporting the whole person. Find out how health coaching stacks up against other health and wellness jobs.

Ingredients

2 1/2 cups oat bran

1 1/2 cups gluten free all purpose flour

4 tsps. baking powder

3 tsps. ground cinnamon

1 tsp. ground ginger

1 tsp. ground nutmeg

1/2 tsp. ground cloves

1/4 tsp. ground allspice

1/2 tsp. kosher salt

1 tbsp. ground flaxseed

1/2 - 1 cup chopped walnuts

4 eggs, lightly beaten

1 15 oz. can of pumpkin puree

1-1/2 cup of shredded zucchini, wrung of excess liquid 

1 cup of oat milk (or milk of choice)

1 cup pure maple syrup

4 tsps. vanilla extract

4 tbsp. coconut oil, melted and cooled

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F.  Lightly grease a standard size muffin tin with oil or cooking spray and set aside.

2. In a large bowl, whisk together the oat bran, flour, baking powder, spices, salt, flaxseed, and walnuts.

4. Let the muffins cool for about 5 minutes in the pan before gently removing them to finish cooling on a wire rack.

Notes

Store muffins in an airtight container on the counter for 3 days or place in freezer bags and freeze for up to 3 months.
