Banana Oat Muffins :
Say hello to these Banana Oat Muffins! I don’t know what it is, but lately I have been on a banana craze. From in my oatmeal, to my protein shakes and everything in between. I had some perfectly ripe bananas staring at me on the counter and I just couldn’t let them go to waste.
These healthy banana muffins are an excellent choice for breakfast, or snack on the go. You are going to love how moist, soft, and fluffy they are. When I was in the kitchen making these I was having one of those lazy moments where I didn’t want to have a bunch of dirty dishes to clean, so I put all of the ingredients in one bowl and poof out came this delicious one bowl banana muffin recipe haha! I’m sure you can relate 🙂
Coconut Sugar:
What makes these banana muffins so healthy is that they are gluten free and naturally sweetened. We used Organic Madhava Coconut Sugar to sweeten these delicious gluten free banana oat muffins. Coconut sugar is a wonderful alternative to table sugar. It’s low in fructose and has a low glycemic index. There are some amazing benefits to coconut sugar that table sugar just does not have. Coconut sugar is not refined and not chemically altered. Table sugar is fully void of anything healthy where as coconut sugar is high in antioxidants and has a relatively decent amount of nutrients such as iron, calcium, and potassium. From time to time I like to swap out the cane sugar and bring you more healthy alternatives such as coconut sugar. I’ve also noticed you don’t have to quite use as much as you would if you were baking with cane sugar. WIN!!!
Vegan Option:
If you are vegan I have good news, we have a vegan banana oat muffin recipe option included. Right now it’s hard for some to get eggs. So if your looking for a delicious naturally sweetened muffin recipe then this recipe is for you! I have to say, I sampled these muffins out to close family and they loved them both equally. They speak for themselves… Vegan Banana Oat Muffins are just as good as the original Banana Oat Muffin Recipe. So there you have it, pick up the recipe below and enjoy 🙂
If your looking for a really delicious and easy to make banana bread then you definitely need to try my Banana Date Bread! It’s super simple and tastes absolutely incredible.
Tips For Banana Oat Muffins:
- When measuring your flour make sure your not scooping directly from the bag. This can cause inaccurate measurements and your recipe may not turn out. Use a spoon to scoop the flour from the bag to the measuring cup and level it off with the back end of a knife.
- Use a large cookie scoop to scoop the batter into the cupcake liners. It’s a lot less messy 🙂
- Make sure you don’t use a mixer when combining the ingredients. Either use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix.
- Make sure your Cashew Milk is Unsweetened. I use this brand.
- DON’T let your batter sit out. Scoop it immediately into cupcake liners and bake.
