Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup almond milk

Optional

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready when you’re done mixing the batter.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth to create a natural sweet base and moisture for the muffins.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add rolled oats, unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed bananas. Mix thoroughly until well combined to form a thick batter.
  4. Add Walnuts: If using, gently fold in the chopped walnuts to add texture and flavor to the muffins.
  5. Prepare Muffin Tin: Line a muffin tin with paper liners to prevent sticking and evenly distribute the batter by filling each cup.
  6. Bake Muffins: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean, indicating they are fully cooked.
  7. Cool and Serve: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool before serving to enhance texture and flavor.

Notes

  • You can substitute almond milk with any other plant-based or regular milk as per preference.
  • For a nut-free version, omit walnuts or replace with seeds like pumpkin or sunflower seeds.
  • Ensure bananas are ripe for natural sweetness and better texture.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
  • Adjust cinnamon according to taste or add a pinch of nutmeg for extra warmth.
