Flourless Oatmeal Banana Nut Muffins
Flourless Oatmeal Banana Nut Muffins combine mashed ripe bananas with ground oats to create a naturally gluten-free muffin base, enriched by cinnamon and nutty walnuts. These muffins have a moist and hearty texture, sweetened by bananas and optionally enhanced with chocolate chips. Baked until golden and firm, they make a wholesome breakfast or snack option that avoids traditional flour.
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.
