Gluten Free Vegan Banana Oat Muffins
Well, we’ve made it to Wednesday! I was starting to think that there was no end to the bug I was fighting for the past six days. I woke up feeling so much better today, which makes me feel confident that whatever it is that I’m fighting is on it’s way out! It’s been about four years since I’ve gotten sick (the cough/flu sick.) It’s going to be 74-degrees today, so I’m going to attempt a nice long walk outside, or maybe a bike ride. Looking out the window has been torturous, but today I get to enjoy it. I don’t want to brag or anything but…it’s going to be 80-degrees tomorrow! I think that calls for a “day in the life” video! 😊 I need to stop blabbing and get to the real reason why I’m here. THESE VEGAN BANANA OAT MUFFINS!!
If you have super-ripe bananas laying around, don’t throw them out! I usually peel mine and put them in the freezer for smoothies or use them for baked goods. These muffins turned out incredible, and they took hardly any time to make. Raise your hand if🤚 you’re team ONE BOWL when it comes to baking! The muffins tasted like my mom’s homemade banana bread! I’m impatiently waiting for the bananas on my countertop to turn brown so that I can make these again. They are perfect for a pre or post workout, or just a snack to have with coffee! 
The only ingredients you need for this recipe are two medium super-ripened bananas, cinnamon, ground flaxseeds, vanilla, oats, almond flour, baking powder, and sea salt! (walnuts on top are optional!)
They baked up so perfectly! 🍌 This recipe made nine medium-sized muffins.

I cannot wait to make these for my two-year-old. We like to bake after I get off of work! I’m glad you hear you’re feeling much better. Get out and enjoy that weather. We’re getting snow in Utah!
Thank you so much! & that is so cute!!!! I hope you enjoy the snow & the muffins That can be just as magical!
How much coconut sugar if adding do you suggest?
I would probably do 3 tbsps!

Thank you, Charmaine!
Can’t wait to make these!
Hope you enjoy 😃
I love your recipes! I do have to say I am thrilled you’ve created more lately that funny include Swerve. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Nicole!
I either freeze them for smoothies or I make some type of banana bread/muffins. I’ve also made pancakes with them!
Definitely a fan of one bowl recipes, as well as one pan recipes.
I’m grateful that I feel a lot better than yesterday and that I feel well enough to go to the gym.
Oh, yes! Can’t forget the pancakes!!
Those are some pretty great things! Glad you’re feeling better too!
So glad you’re feeling better! It was gorgeous weather here yesterday and now it’s back to being cold! I guess I can’t complain because it’s still technically Winter.
Thanks, Amy!!
Lol, it’s all just a big tease 😂
I feel like you read my mind! I was just thinking about making healthy breakfast muffins just as you posted this 🙂
Looks like I have a new recipe to try! Also, I am so happy you are feeling better!
They are so convenient! Love keeping them in the house 😃
& thank you, girl! Feels good to finally have my energy and health back!
This recipe is going to be perfect for my busy week!
♥️ Hope you enjoy!
I have to make these! I was interested to see if you plan on writing about your plant based diet challenge?
I’m going to do a YouTube video about it!:)
Looks delicious! Does it take baking powder of baking soda? Ingredient list says powder but directions say soda. Thanks!!
So I’m probably the minority but I don’t like bananas lol. Do you recommend a good substitute?
Had some leftover brown bananas and have a busy week. Just popped a batch in the oven. Thanks!
Hope you enjoyed!!
I’m making these now. They look so easy and delicious. You have baking powder in the ingredient list and baking soda in the instructions below it. Which one should I use?
