Easy healthy chocolate chip banana oat muffins
Description
Easy healthy chocolate chip banana oat muffins blend rolled oats and ripe bananas into a soft batter enriched with cinnamon and chocolate chips. The oats contribute a slightly chewy texture paired with the natural sweetness and moisture from the bananas. Baking powder and eggs help the muffins rise and hold shape. The muffins bake until set and can be browned further under a grill for added color, though this is optional. Once cooled, they have a comforting crumb with pockets of melted chocolate chips.
These muffins suit breakfast or an on-the-go snack, providing a blend of fruit and grains without excessive sweetness. They are flavorful but not overly sugary, which keeps them versatile for various diets where moderate sweetness is preferred.
For best results, let the muffins cool fully before serving to help them set. They keep at room temperature in an airtight container for several days, maintaining good texture and flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 3 egg
- 3 large banana
- 2 tsp baking powder
- salt pinch
- 1 tbsp sweetener of your choice
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¾ cup milk almond/coconut milk can be substituted
- 2 tbsp neutral cooking oil canola/vegetable/coconut, generic cooking oil
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/350ºF and line a muffin pan with muffin cases.
- Combine all the ingredients (except for the chocolate chips) in the jug of a powerful blender, starting with the liquids to ensure easier blending.
- Blend until smooth. For a smoother result, first blend/process the oats to a flour before blending with the remaining ingredients.
- Stir the chocolate chips into the batter then transfer to muffin cases.
- Place the muffin trays into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until a skewer inserted comes out clean. Because the sugar content is so low, the muffins won't brown much so I gave them a quick blast under the pre-heated grill/top element until they were golden brown but this is optional.
- Remove the muffins from the oven and allow to cool completely before serving.
- COOKS NOTE: These muffins will last for 3-5 days if kept in an airtight container at room temperature.
