Servings: 12
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 cup mashed ripe banana about 2 medium bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup coconut oil melted and slightly cooled
- 1/4 cup milk of choice
- 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 325 degrees F and generously coat a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick cooking spray or line with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oat flour, oat bran, cane sugar, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, eggs, maple syrup, milk, melted coconut oil and vanilla until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Fold in any desired mix-ins, such as chocolate chips or chopped nuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the tops are set and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
