- 1 ⅔ cups oat flour tutorial here
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 cup mashed banana about 2 medium bananas
- 1/3 cup avocado oil or other light oil
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons milk of choice I used oat milk
Preheat oven to 350ºF and grease or line 9 cavities of a 12-cup muffin pan; set aside.
Mix dry ingredients: In a medium bowl combine oat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl combine mashed banana, oil, eggs and vanilla.
Combine: Add in half of the flour mixture, stir a few times then add in milk and remaining flour; stir until just combined.
Bake: Evenly distribute batter into 9 muffin cups, filling about 3/4 way full. Bake for 17-20 minutes, until inserted toothpick into center of muffin comes out clean. My muffins took 18 minutes. Cool: Allow muffins to cool in pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to wire rack. Muffins can be stored at room temperature and best enjoyed within 3-4 days.
