Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 0.75 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 1 large banana (mashed)
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup honey
- 0.25 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 cups chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.25 cups dark chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
In another bowl, mash the banana and mix it with the egg, honey, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Stir the softened oats and almond milk mixture into the wet ingredients until well combined.
Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, folding gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts and dark chocolate chips for added texture and flavor.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 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 tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
