Ingredients

  • 2 cups certified gluten-free rolled oats

  • 1 tsp baking powder

  • ½ tsp baking soda

  • ½ tsp cinnamon

  • ¼ tsp salt

  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 large eggs

  • ⅓ cup maple syrup or honey

  • ¼ cup melted coconut oil or butter

  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

  • ¼ cup milk or dairy-free milk

  • Optional add-ins:

  • ½ cup chocolate chips

  • ½ cup blueberries

  • ¼ cup chopped walnuts

Directions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners or grease lightly.
  • In a blender or food processor, blend oats into a fine oat flour.
  • Transfer oat flour to a bowl and whisk in baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a separate bowl, mix mashed bananas, eggs, maple syrup, melted oil, vanilla, and milk.
  • Add wet ingredients to dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  • Fold in any optional add-ins.
  • Divide batter evenly among muffin cups.
  • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

Notes

  • Always use certified gluten-free oats to avoid cross-contamination.
    The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more moist the muffins.
    For dairy-free muffins, use coconut oil and dairy-free milk.
    These muffins freeze well for up to 3 months.
    Store leftovers in an airtight container for 3 days at room temp or 5 days refrigerated.
