Ingredients
  

  • 2 large ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or avocado oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour or oat flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats plus extra for sprinkling

  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup add-ins e.g., dark chocolate chips, walnuts, or blueberries

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, maple syrup, coconut oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. In a separate bowl, stir together the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  5. Gently fold in your chosen add-ins, like chocolate chips or nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Sprinkle a few extra rolled oats on top of each muffin for a finishing touch.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
