Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats or 2 ¼ cups oat flour
  • 4 medium spotty ripe bananas about 2 cups mashed
  • 1 cup non-dairy milk I used unsweetened almond milk

Optional Ingredients:

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon salt for flavor
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder for extra fluffiness - highly recommended
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup for extra sweetness

Mix-ins:

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Prepare a muffin pan with foil liners or lightly spray with oil. Or use a silicone muffin pan.
  • Add all of the ingredients to a high-speed blender, including optional vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and maple syrup if using. Do not add mix-ins like berries, chocolate chips or nuts just yet.
    3 cups rolled oats, 4 medium spotty ripe bananas, 1 cup non-dairy milk, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, ½ teaspoon salt, 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1-2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • Blend the ingredients until smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides as needed, for 1-2 minutes. Be careful not to overblend.
  • Transfer the batter to a bowl and gently fold in your desired mix-ins.
    ½ cup berries, ½ cup dairy-free chocolate chips, ½ cup chopped nuts
  • Evenly divide the batter into each muffin cup and top with additional mix-ins if desired.
  • Bake for 18 - 22 minutes until golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean (some melted chocolate or berry juice on the toothpick is fine but no wet batter).
  • Allow to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing. These can be served warm or cold!

Notes

Storage: Allow them to cool fully before placing in an airtight container. These can be stored on the countertop for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Freeze for longer.
