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!
