Ingredients
- 1¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
- ⅓ cup Rolled Oats
- 1 tsp Baking Soda
- ½ tsp Salt
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ⅓ cup Coconut Oil Melted
- ½ cup Maple Syrup
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Bananas Mashed, ripe, (about 3 bananas)
- ¼ cup Milk Low-fat
- 1 tsp Vanilla Extract
- ½ cup Walnuts Chopped
- 1 tsp Sugar For sprinkling on top
- Cooking Spray
Equipment
- Oven
- Muffin Tin
- Large Mixing Bowl
- Medium Mixing Bowl
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a muffin tin or line with muffins cups.
- In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
- In a large bowl, beat the coconut oil and maple syrup together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract.
- Stir the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon, just until combined. Fold in the nuts.
- Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with oats and sugar, if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer from the tin to a wire rack for 10 minutes.
Notes
Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
- Substitute the regular milk with any plant-based milk or even water.
- Substitute the egg for a flax egg to make it vegan.
- Substitute the maple syrup with any other liquid sweetener like honey but it will taste different.
- Substitute the coconut oil with another neutral oil or applesauce to keep it lower in fat.
- To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
