  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Mash the bananas in a bowl with a fork until smooth. You’ll want to have 3/4 cup of mashed banana.
  • Add the vanilla, milk, and oil (or melted butter) to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.
  • Stir in the oat flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt and mix until just combined. Fold in any optional add-ins like mini chocolate chips or blueberries if using.
  • Divide the batter evenly into a 24-cup silicone mini muffin pan or a greased metal mini muffin pan.
  • Bake the mini muffins for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool completely before serving so that they are not gummy in texture.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
  • Do not overmix the batter once the dry ingredients are added, so the muffins stay soft and fluffy.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. Since these muffins are made with oat flour and bananas, they can seem gummy if eaten while still warm.
  • A silicone mini muffin pan works especially well for easy removal, but a greased metal pan works too.
  • Feel free to customize these muffins with your favorite mix-ins like mini chocolate chips, blueberries, or finely chopped nuts.
