Flourless Oatmeal Banana Nut Muffins
Description
The Flourless Oatmeal Banana Nut Muffins rely on blended oats as a substitute for flour, giving a coarse, substantial crumb. Mashed bananas provide moisture and natural sweetness, while cinnamon adds warm spice notes. Walnuts add crunch and depth, and optional chocolate chips add bursts of sweetness. The baking soda leavens the batter, helping the muffins rise with a tender but hearty structure.
Baked in muffin tins until golden brown and firm to touch, these muffins are cooled before removal to ensure shape retention. Their texture is comforting and fulfilling without traditional wheat flour, making them suitable for those seeking alternatives. They can be served plain or with spreads for breakfast or a quick snack.
Ingredients
- 2 cups quick oats or rolled oats
- 2 cups banana 4 medium bananas, mashed ripe
- 2 egg
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt sea salt
- 1/2 cup walnut chopped, raw
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and spray or oil a muffin tray (or use muffin papers).
- Add the oats to a blender and blend until a flour forms. It’s okay if it doesn’t reach the consistency of regular flour. I often leave mine somewhat coarse and it turns out great.
- Add the remaining ingredients except for the walnuts (and chocolate chips if you’re adding them) and blend until smooth.
- Stir in the walnuts (and chocolate chips if adding).
- Fill the muffin holes ⅔ of the way up (the muffins will rise!) and if desired, top with more walnuts, chocolate chips, and/or oats.
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until muffins are golden-brown and feel firm when gently poked.
- Allow muffins to cool at least 30 minutes before running a butter knife along the edge of the muffin between the muffin and the tray to release the muffins.
