Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 3 medium very ripe bananas mashed (about 1 1/2 cups)
  • 1 large egg room temperature
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or any milk
  • 2 tbsp melted coconut oil or butter
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour use certified GF if needed
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats use certified GF if needed
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips optional

Equipment

  • 12-Cup Muffin Tin
  • Large Mixing Bowl
  • Whisk & Spatula

Method
 

  1. Preheat & Prep: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until mostly smooth. Whisk in the egg, maple syrup, Greek yogurt, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the oat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet ingredients in the same bowl. Stir with a rubber spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are okay.
  4. Fold in Add-ins: If using, gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. If desired, you can sprinkle a few extra oats or chocolate chips on top.
  6. Bake: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
