Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 120 grams rolled oats
- 100 grams whole wheat flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 large eggs
- 120 milliliters unsweetened almond milk
- 60 milliliters maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 60 milliliters unsweetened applesauce
- 2 tablespoons chia seeds
- 50 grams dark chocolate chips
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to combine.
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and applesauce. Whisk until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to ensure tender muffins.
Fold in the chia seeds and dark chocolate chips to evenly distribute them throughout the batter.
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18–20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy your Fitness Muffins fresh or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
