How to make oat flour muffins?

When I make these banana oatmeal muffins, I love using ground oat flour. I place one cup of raw old fashioned oats in my Vitamix blender and blend away! It takes about 15-20 seconds to blend into a course oat flour that gives a perfect texture for these muffins.

I don’t know what breakfast is like at your house but my toddlers don’t tend to like a bowl of oatmeal but oatmeal muffins that’s a different story! Muffins are an easy way to get satiating oats into their diet without the fuss so I made these muffins with only raw old fashioned oats– no other flour is necessary.

If you don’t have oat flour on hand for this recipe, raw “quick” oats make a great sub.

We use one big bowl and mash several bananas in to this recipe. I like to leave my bananas a little chunky because bananas in every bite is my fav.

How to make this recipe egg free?

This recipe may work with 1 flax egg (1 additional tablespoon of ground flax mixed with 3 tablespoons water, and allow to sit to thicken.) I have not tested these banana oatmeal muffins with flax eggs yet but when I do I will let you know. And of course if you try egg free version please do let us know in the comments.

What to pair with these healthy banana oat muffins you might ask?

ALMOND BUTTER (or nut butter of choice).

Because these healthy banana oat muffins are oil free thanks to the applesauce, they can use a little healthy fat– thus a thick smear of nut butter does the trick and makes them super satisfying.

Oh and if you love yourself some chocolate like me, go on girl and sprinkle some of those choco chips on top of these banana oatmeal muffins, or add them to the batter if you wish. You won’t regret it.
