Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients
1 ½ cups of gluten-free flour
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons of rolled oats
2 teaspoons of baking powder
½ teaspoon of baking soda
½ teaspoon of salt
½ teaspoon of cinnamon
½ cup of brown sugar
2 eggs
3 ripe bananas (about 1 ½ cups mashed)
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
5 tablespoons of melted butter or coconut oil
½ cup milk (whole milk or your favorite dairy-free variety)
1 cup of chocolate chips
Directions
Whisk the dry ingredients – whisk together the flour, 1 cup of the oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in a small bowl, then set aside.
Beat the wet ingredients – next, in a large bowl, add the brown sugar, eggs, mashed bananas, butter or oil, and vanilla, and whisk or beat with an electric or stand mixer until fully combined.
Combine the wet + dry ingredients – add the flour mixture to the egg mixture in ½ cup increments, beating continuously, until smooth, then stir in the milk and chocolate chips.
Bake – line a muffin tin with parchment baking cups and fill ¾ of the way with the muffin mixture, then top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of oats. Bake the muffins for 25 minutes at 350°F until a toothpick comes out clean.
