Cinnamon Oat Banana Blender Muffins
A perfect transition from summer to fall, these muffins feature a perfect hint of cinnamon and oat, are healthy and come together in less than 30 minutes!
Equipment
- Non stick baking spray
- 12 cavity muffin pan
- blender or food processor
Ingredients
Muffins
- 1 3/4 cup oat flour*
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 large eggs
- 2 large bananas very ripe
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/4 cup raw honey
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Optional Topping
- 4 Tbsp coconut oil
- 4 Tbsp Stevia or you can use coconut sugar, Splenda or sugar of choice
- 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Add muffin liners to a 12-cavity muffin pan, or spray generously with non-stick baking spray. (Note: if you use liners, we suggest the parchment paper kind, as these muffins tend to stick to regular paper liners. Or, do what we do – spray the heck out of our pan with non-stick baking spray. They should come out just fine that way!). Set pan aside.
- Making our topping (optional): Melt coconut oil, then add in the cinnamon, oats and Stevia. Stir and combine. Set aside.
- Next, add all wet ingredients to a blender or food processor (or hand mix and mash if you don’t have one – no problem!). Blend until smooth and combined.
- Finish by adding in the dry ingredients and blend for 15-20 seconds. Scrape down your blender or bowl, then mix/blend for another 20 seconds. Do not over mix! When in doubt, stop and hand mix the rest.
- Pour batter evenly into the muffin pan liners of sprayed muffin cavities. Fill until about 3/4 full. Top with your cinnamon oat topping.
- Bake muffins for 18 – 20 minutes. Edges should be golden brown and batter should spring back when touched.
- Remove muffins from oven and let cool for about 5 minutes before removing and moving to a cooling rack.
- Enjoy your new baked banana treat!
Notes
*If you don’t have oat flour, you can easily make your own (we always do) by pulsing in a food processor or blender old fashioned oats until it’s a fine powder. Store extra for other baking adventures!
