Healthy and delicious Whole Wheat Banana Oat Muffins. Perfect for a brunch or snacks!
Ingredients
  • 2 Flax Eggs (2 tablespoons ground flaxseed + 5 tablespoons warm water), or sub 2 eggs
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon
  • scant ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup oat flour*
  • ¾ cup stone ground whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup mashed very ripe banana (about 2 large bananas)
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla
  • ¾ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup non-dairy milk of choice such as almond or coconut
  • 1 cup chopped walnuts, optional
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and grease a muffin tin with coconut oil, set aside.
  2. If using flax eggs, make them in a large bowl by combining the flaxseed and water and let set for 5 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, add all dry ingredients (cinnamon, salt, baking soda, oat flour, & whole wheat flour) except walnuts to a medium sized mixing bowl and stir to combine.
  4. Add the banana, coconut oil, vanilla, maple syrup, and non-dairy milk to the flax eggs (or regular eggs) and mix well to combine.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients ⅓ of the mixture at a time, mixing well after each addition. The batter will be somewhat thick, sort of like pancake batter, when done.
  6. Mix in the walnuts, if using.
  7. Scoop batter into prepared muffin tin and bake for 14-16 minutes if using mini muffins, and 28-33 minutes if using a regular sized muffin tin.
Notes
*To make oat flour, grind quick cooking oats in a food processor or coffee grinder until it makes a flour. You can also skip this step and just use the whole oat for a more textured muffin.
