Equipment
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats*
- 1 cup mashed banana 2 ripe bananas**
- 2 large eggs
- 4 Tbsp avocado oil
- 1 ½ tsp pure vanilla extract optional
- 1 tsp cider vinegar***
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp sea salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 Granny Smith apple chopped or grated
- 3 Tbsp sliced almonds for topping optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with muffin liners (this recipe makes 9 muffins).
- Blend the oats in a high-speed blender or food processor for 20 to 30 seconds, or until a flour forms.
- Mash the bananas in a large bowl, then add the eggs, oil, vanilla extract and vinegar. Beat these ingredients together until well-combined.
- Transfer the dry ingredients (oat flour, baking soda, sea salt, and cinnamon) to the mixing bowl with the wet ingredients. Stir until a thick muffin batter forms. Add the chopped apples and stir well to combine.
- Transfer the batter to the lined muffin tray, filling the holes almost all the way up. If you’d like, sprinkle with sliced almonds.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and test clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before you remove them from the muffin pan and peel them.
- Peeling muffins when they’re still warm will result in them sticking to the muffin papers and a lot of muffin will be lost to the paper.
- 8. Enjoy these muffins warm with a pat of butter and a drizzle of honey with a cup of coffee or a mug of tea.
Notes
*You can also use 2 cups of almond flour or 1 ⅔ cup gluten-free all-purpose flour.
**The mashed banana can be replaced with ⅔ cup of applesauce or ½ cup pure maple syrup.
***The cider vinegar can be replaced with any type of vinegar, lemon juice, or lime juice.
These muffins do not taste remarkably sweet. To make them sweeter, add 2 to 5 tablespoons of cane sugar, brown sugar, or coconut sugar.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze these muffins in a zip lock bag for up to 3 months.
