Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, No-Added Sugar Banana-Oat Muffins

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F

Step 2

Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with coconut oil

Step 3

In a food processor or blender, combine the bananas, oats, almond milk, egg, baking powder, vanilla, cinnamon, salt and maple syrup (if using)

Step 4

Blend on high for about 1 minute or until the batter is silky smooth, turning off the machine and scraping the sides of the container with a rubber spatula, as needed

Step 5

(If your machine has a "pulse" button, I like to use it to really grind up the oats and bananas

Step 6

)  Remove the lid and gently stir in the chocolate chips

Step 7

Divide the batter among the muffin cups so that each cup has the same amount (see Tip)

Step 8

Bake until golden and firm in the center, 30 to 35 minutes

Step 9

Let cool for about 10 minutes before removing from the pan

Step 10

Store in an airtight container

Step 11

ENJOY!!! :)
