Banana Muffins
A delicious, healthy, simple treat that will keep you and the kids fueled all morning!
Banana Muffins
3 medium to large extra ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 ⅓ cup mashed banana)
⅓ cup coconut sugar
2 tablespoons flaxseed meal
½ cup dairy free milk of choice
⅓ cup melted coconut oil
½ tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
¾ cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
Optional add-ins:
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup chopped walnuts (or pecans)
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with 10 muffin liners.
In a large bowl mix together the mashed banana, coconut sugar, flaxseed meal, dairy free milk, coconut oil and vanilla extract until well combined.
Add in the dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Mix until just combined. Do not overmix; it’s totally fine if there are some lumps of banana, etc. Option to fold in ½ cup chopped walnuts or ½ cup chocolate chips (or both!).
Evenly divide batter between 10 muffin liners. Bake for 18-25 minutes or until a tester inserted into the middle comes out clean. Cool and enjoy!
