Breakfast at our house doesn’t get much better than a piping hot muffin fresh out of the oven slathered in butter with a rich cup of coffee.
Is your mouth watering yet?
These lofty babies are a great and nutrient dense breakfast to have on hand. They’re made with 100% oat flour and sweetened with bananas and a touch of maple syrup.
And the best part? They come together in a jiffy using a blender. I’m even making the oat flour in the blender so you don’t have to worry about finding oat flour in the store if you already have oats on hand.
Extra batter is the key to getting large, lofty muffins in a regular muffin tin. Most muffin recipes call for about 2 cups of flour, but I’ve increased this recipe to use 3 cups of oat flour and adjusted the wet ingredients to suit to really fill that muffin tin.
These have been a staple in our home since our son started solids. And now that he’s older, he loves to help me add the ingredients to the blender and press the buttons.
I mean, just look at that face.
Give these muffins a try and let me know how they turn out!
Blender Banana Oat Muffins
Ingredients
- 3 Cups Oatmeal
- 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Soda
- 1 1/2 Tsp Baking Powder
- 1 Tsp Cinnamon
- 1/2 Tsp Salt
- 2-3 Ripe Banans
- 3 Eggs
- 1/3 Cup Oil I use olive or avocado, but any vegetable oil will work
- 1/3 Cup Maple Syrup
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350
- Line a cupcake mold with liners or spray lightly with oil
- Dump the oats in the blender and blend on high until oats are broken down into a coarse, even texture resembling flour.
- Pour the oat flour in a bowl and add the soda, powder and salt. Stir to combine and set aside.
- Add the rest of the ingredients to the blender and mix on medium until combined.
- Add the dry ingredients back to the blender and blend on medium/low until a thick batter is formed.
- Evenly distribute the batter in the muffin cups and place the tray in the oven. Bake for 18-25 minutes, or until a toothpick stuck in the middle comes out clean. These muffins are big boys, so they may take a little longer than your average muffin.
