Prep Time 5 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Course Dessert
Servings 12

Ingredients
  

  • 2 eggs lightly whisked
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened almond milk + 1/2 tsp white vinegar this creates somewhat of a homemade buttermilk*
  • 2 medium ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/2 cup coconut palm sugar**
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3/4 cup quick rolled oats
  • 1 cup + 2 Tbsp whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup blueberries frozen or fresh (tossed lightly in some flour to keep from sinking in batter)
  • Optional: 1/4 cup Splenda + 2 Tsp ground cinnamon for optional topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line a 12-cavity muffin pan with parchment paper liners, or spray with nonstick baking spray. Set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, almond milk + white vinegar, vanilla extract, baking soda, sugar and cinnamon. Mix until combined. Add in the oats and mix lightly until just combined.
  • Spoon in the flour until just combined. Don’t over mix.
  • Lastly, fold in the blueberries lightly until just combined.
  • Spoon the batter (or use a Baking Scoop Disher like we did…it makes this process so easy!) evenly across the 12-cavity muffin pan. Fill to the top (they batter won’t rise that much while baking).
  • Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until the tops begin to brown and a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Optional: After you remove muffins from the oven, while hot, sprinkle the Splenda/cinnamon mixture on top of each muffin. If preferred, brush with lemon or lime juice before sprinkling each muffin to help the topping stick. ?
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely.
  • Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
