Ingredients

• 2 cups Rolled oats (gluten-free if necessary)
• 3 medium Ripe bananas
• 2 Eggs
• 0.5 cups Unsweetened almond milk
• 0.25 cups Maple syrup or honey
• 1 teaspoons Baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
• 0.25 cups Unsweetened applesauce
• 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
• 0.25 cups Chopped nuts (e.g., walnuts or pecans)
• 0.25 cups Dark chocolate chips (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional, for added fiber)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.

Step 2

Add the rolled oats to a blender and blend until they form a fine flour. Transfer the oat flour to a large mixing bowl.

Step 3

In the blender, combine the ripe bananas, eggs, almond milk, maple syrup or honey, unsweetened applesauce, and vanilla extract. Blend until smooth.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the oat flour. Add the baking powder, baking soda, and ground cinnamon. Stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing.

Step 5

Fold in the chopped nuts, optional dark chocolate chips, and optional chia seeds until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 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 in the refrigerator for up to a week.
