Ingredients
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12-count muffin tin.
In a large bowl, whisk mashed banana, almond butter, syrup, eggs, milk, and vanilla. Add oats, baking powder, and salt and stir witha wooden spoon or rubber spatula until well combined. Stir in mix-ins.
Divide the mixture between 12 muffin cups (I use an ice cream scoop). Bake for 16-20 minutes, until cooked through. The edges should just be beginning to turn golden brown. The muffins might seem soft and delicate, they will firm up as they cool. Place the pan on a wire rack and cool for at least 20 minutes. If necessary, run a thin knife around the outside of each muffin and remove from the pan. Serve warm.
Notes
Oats: I like to pulse half of the oats in a food processor. I find that this helps make the texture of the muffins a bit softer. Pulse about 7-8 times, until the oats are coarsely ground. You can skip this step if you’d prefer. Mix-in options You can add any of the following to the batter before baking. We recommend about 1 generous cup of mix-ins. Feel free to mix and match, too!- Chocolate chips
- Raisins
- Dried cranberries
- Dried cherries
- Nuts
- Fresh berries (large berries chopped)
