    These healthy banana oat flour muffins are delicious! They are lightly sweetened with maple syrup, and oat flour makes these muffins naturally gluten-free. Great for breakfast and snacks!

    I am a muffin lady. I just love a good, wholesome muffin made with hearty whole grains and fruit. Bonus if there’s chocolate involved! I grew up with a lot of homemade muffins in my school lunchbox, and it’s a love that hasn’t died.

    I’ve been loving these simple and healthy banana oat flour muffins lately! They are easy to whip up, sweetened with just a bit of maple syrup, and wonderfully moist.

    They make the perfect snack! Some of my family members have been enjoying these for breakfast, too! I think one of these muffins would be great with a smear of nut butter alongside some scrambled eggs or a bowl of Greek yogurt and fruit at breakfast. That would be a perfectly balanced morning meal!

    ingredients for healthy banana oat muffins

    As I mentioned, these muffins are very simple to whip up. Here are the ingredients you need!

    • Overripe bananas
    • Salted butter (For a dairy-free option, sub coconut oil or olive oil.)
    • Eggs (at room temperature)
    • Maple syrup
    • Vanilla extract
    • Milk (Any type- dairy or non-dairy! Should also be at room temperature.)
    • Oat flour
    • Baking powder
    • Baking soda
    • Sea salt
    • Cinnamon

    How to make these healthy banana oat muffins

    1. Preheat the oven to 350 F and line a muffin pan with paper cups or lightly grease with oil.
    2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, melted butter, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, and milk. Whisk to combine.
    3. In a medium bowl, stir together the oat flour, baking powder and soda, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until smooth.
    4. Finally, stir in the blueberries or chocolate chips. Note: I divided the batter in half at this point and added ¼ cup of frozen blueberries to one half and ¼ cup of chocolate chips to the other half.
    5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the centre of a muffin comes out clean.
    6. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes in the pan before removing from the pan and transferring to a cooling rack.

    how to store these healthy banana muffins With oat flour

    Store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or in the fridge for a week. You can also freeze them for longer term storage, of course!
