Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Gluten-free rolled oats
• 1 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 2 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 1 cup Mashed ripe banana
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup Unsweetened almond milk (or any dairy-free milk)
• 0.25 cup Coconut oil, melted
• 0.25 cup Pure maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup Chopped nuts (optional, e.g., walnuts or almonds)
• 0.5 cup Dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup to prevent sticking.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the gluten-free rolled oats, gluten-free all-purpose flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, almond milk, melted coconut oil, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix.

Step 5

If using, fold in the chopped nuts and dried cranberries or raisins for added texture and flavor.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Smooth the tops gently with the back of a spoon if necessary.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 8

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
