Banana-Oat muffins

Vegan! Gluten-free! Sugar-free!

​Makes 12 muffins.
​

• 4 ripe bananas
• 2 cups oats, ground into flour (in the food processor)
• 1/2 cup coconut oil (or 1/4 cup apple sauce & 1/4 cup oil)
• 1/2 cup coconut milk 
• 2 tbsp ground flax seeds (or 1 tbsp flax & 1 egg)
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1/2 tbsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• a little bit of maple syrup, honey, or stevia (optional)
• 1/2 cup sugar-free chocolate chips (optional)

Grind oats in the food processor. Dump the oat flour into a bowl, then process bananas until smooth. Mix the oil into the oat flour with a fork. Add all of the ingredients together and mix until combined. Add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips if desired.

​Line muffin tin with 12 muffin liners. Fill with the batter (these will appear pretty full since there's no egg in the recipe to make the muffins rise). 

Bake at 350 degrees (F) for 22-25 minutes (until golden brown).
