Ingredients

Banana: Adds natural sweetness and moisture to the muffins, making them soft and flavorful. For best results use overripe bananas with brown spots as they are the sweetest.
Smooth 100% Natural Peanut Butter: Provides a rich, nutty flavor that complements the banana.
Vanilla Extract: Enhances the overall flavor profile with a warm, aromatic touch and makes the muffins taste sweeter even though we aren't adding any refined sugar.
Almond Milk: Keeps the recipe dairy-free while adding moisture to the batter.
Oat Flour: Offers a gluten-free alternative to traditional flour, adding a slight nutty taste. Use oat flour that is organic as non-organic oats are usually sprayed with glyphosate.
Almond Flour: Contributes to the moist texture and adds a mild, sweet flavor.
Baking Powder: Helps the muffins rise and become fluffy.
Ground Cinnamon: Adds a warm, spicy and sweet note that pairs well with bananas and blueberries.
Blueberries: Burst with juicy sweetness, adding a fresh, fruity element to every bite.
Rolled Oats for Toppings: Adds a crunchy texture on top of the muffins.

How to Make Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins

Collage of 8 images showing the steps of how to make the recipe.

Preheat your oven to 180°C / 360°F.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana.
Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the mashed banana and mix until well combined.
In a separate large bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until you have a smooth muffin batter. You can do this in a stand-alone mixer or with a wooden spoon.
Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula.
Divide the batter equally into a 6-cup silicone muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Top each muffin with some rolled oats and 2-3 blueberries.
Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let the muffins cool for about 5-10 minutes before removing them from the pan.

Additions

Coconut Sugar: If you prefer a sweeter muffin.
Chocolate Chips: For a bit of indulgence.
Nuts or Seeds: For added crunch and protein.

Variations

Use Different Berries: Substitute blueberries with raspberries, strawberries, or blackberries.
Add Spices: Try adding nutmeg or ginger to add different flavors.
Sweeteners: These are refined sugar-free muffins and we think they taste perfectly sweet but if you want them sweeter you can add coconut sugar or brown sugar
Flour Alternatives: Use gluten-free flour or whole wheat flour and all purpose flour if not avoiding gluten.
