Why we love this recipe 

  • These are refined sugar free muffins - sweetened only with banana and juicy blueberries.
  • Great muffin recipe for baby and kids as it only contains sugars from fresh fruit and only wholesome ingredients.
  • Gluten free and vegan oatmeal muffins recipe. 
  • Great for meal prep so you have a week of quick breakfasts or on-the-go snacks (great meal prep muffins are also these Baby ABC Muffins and the Healthy Banana Carrot Muffins.)

Ingredients

Labelled ingredients on a white background.
  • 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.
  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C / 360°F.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana.
  3. Add the peanut butter, vanilla extract, and almond milk to the mashed banana and mix until well combined.
  4. In a separate large bowl, combine the oat flour, almond flour, baking powder, and cinnamon.
  5. 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. 
  6. Gently fold in the fresh blueberries with a spatula.
  7. Divide the batter equally into a 6-cup silicone muffin pan, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Top each muffin with some rolled oats and 2-3 blueberries.
  9. Bake for about 20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  10. 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.

Storage

  • Room Temperature: Store these blueberry banana oatmeal muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
  • Refrigeration: Keep in the fridge for up to a week.
  • Freezing: Freeze muffins for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or microwave before eating.

FAQ

1. Can I use frozen blueberries?Yes, you can use frozen blueberries, but be sure to thaw and drain them before folding them into the muffin batter to avoid excess moisture.

2. What can I substitute for almond milk? You can use any plant-based milk such as oat milk, soy milk, or coconut milk.

3. How do I make oat flour at home? To make homemade oat flour simply blend quick oats or rolled oats in a food processor until they reach a fine, flour-like consistency.
