Ingredients
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas ((approx 2 large or 2.5 medium bananas))
- 1 cup natural smooth peanut butter ((or almond butter))
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 cup oat flour ((blended oats))
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp mineral salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180 C and line a muffin tray with muffin cases
- Mash the bananas thoroughly and combine with the other wet ingredients (maple syrup, smooth peanut butter and vanilla extract)
- In a separate large mixing bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon and salt)
- Pour the wet mixture into the dry and stir until combined
- Then, spoon the mixture into muffin cases
- Bake for 25 minutes (ovens may vary slightly - ensure a toothpick is removed clean)
- Remove from muffin tray once cooked and cool on cooling rack (ensure fully cooled to ensure muffins don't fall apart)
Notes
- Make sure the bananas are very ripe (brown spots all over the skin)
- I used peanut butter in this recipe, but you could replace it with almond butter if preferred
- Make sure muffins are completely cooled (2-3 hours on cooling rack) before removing from muffin cases to prevent them falling apart
- You can easily make your own oat flour by simply blending rolled oats for a few seconds
