I was craving banana muffins today and I had several bananas that were perfect for banana muffins. So I looked on Pinterest here and found a recipe for Banana Oatmeal muffins. I had all the ingredients except for chocolate chips. I know a travesty but none the less, no chocolate chips. :( I thought I could make it a little healthier if I wanted so I made a few changes to the original recipe. Here is what I did. I have the muffins in the oven right now. I tripled the recipe and made 18 muffins and 2 loafs of banana oatmeal wheat bread.
Banana Oatmeal Wheat Muffins
- 9 mashed bananas (the more ripe the better!)
- 1 cup vanilla Almond milk (you could use skim but you may want to add a little sweetener)
- 6 eggs
- 3 tbsp Baking powder
- 8 cups (240g) Old Fashion or Rolled Oats
- 1 cup wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cup coconut sugar
- 3 tsp vanilla extract
- 9 tbsp (42g) mini chocolate chips (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees
Mix all ingredients except the chocolate chips together, and let sit while you prepare the muffin pans.
Spray a muffin pan and/or liners with with non-stick spray.
Stir the chocolate chips into the oatmeal batter.
Divide batter into 15 muffin cups. They should be just about filled.
Bake 20-30 minutes, you’ll see the edges just starting to brown and they will be firm to the touch.
The muffins may stick when hot but are removed easily when cooled for a bit.
*For bread bake for 60 minutes.
They look and smell delicious. I hope you give them a try :)
