Gluten Free Banana Oat Muffins: Nutty and Moist

(mydeliciousmeals.com)Alena Tarasevich

Buying bananas for the whole family can be tricky. Sometimes, we eat them quickly, and everyone wants more. Other times, they sit on the counter, uneaten and spotty.

That's why I came up with this gluten-free banana muffins recipe. It's super easy to make in a blender and perfect for using up those ripe bananas.

These muffins are sweetened with bananas and a touch of maple syrup, so there's no need for refined sugar. Creamy peanut butter adds a rich, nutty flavor. A hint of vanilla enhances the taste, while a sprinkle of cinnamon reminds of that classic banana bread flavor.

I hope these sweet muffins become a new family favorite at your place and you'll want to make a double batch next time!

Notes

I use silicone muffin pan to bake these moist muffins. If you're using a regular muffin pan, line it with paper liners. If you don’t have any liners, consider spraying the pan with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.

If you have leftover muffins, allow them to cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Alternatively, freeze them.

You can change this gluten-free muffin recipe in lots of ways by adding your favorite mix-ins (chocolate chips, fresh blueberries, frozen berries, chopped nuts).

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a silicone muffin tin, or line a regular muffin pan with paper baking liners.
2. In a blender, add the wet ingredients followed by dry ingredients: bananas, eggs, peanut butter, rolled oats, maple syrup, almond milk, baking powder, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.

6. For best results, allow the muffins to cool for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. If you want your muffins to be more visually appealing, spread a bit of peanut butter on top of the muffin and sprinkle with finely chopped pecans. Enjoy!
