These oat flour banana muffins are loaded with and oat and almond flour blend and taste fantastic with a nutty, wholesome flavor and texture.They’re so good and perfect paired with a cup of coffee for breakfast!
In looking back at my recipes, its pretty obvious that I LOVE banana. Over 10% of my recipes have banana. Can you say banana obsessed? I obviously can.
What’s totally weird is that I rarely eat them plain, but toss ’em into baked goodies all the time. Bananas are just so versatile and easy, I can’t seem to help myself.
These gluten free muffins are a slight deviation from my usual attempts at baking without flour. I have made plenty of oat based gluten free cookies like these vegan banana cookies and these chocolate coconut protein cookies, but muffins seemed a little less forgiving since the end goal is really more cake-like and less dense.
Getting the muffin consistency right can be tricky without gluten and my first few tries were utterly disastrous. Then I discovered almond flour paired with oat flour and my wildest dreams came true. Okay, maybe not my wildest but at least my “muffin of the moment” dreams were fulfilled. Does anyone else dream about muffins or is it just me?
With all the tasty treats around this time of year, we need all the wholesome snacks we can get. These gluten free muffins are a great on the go hunger stopper.
They’re completely dairy free too, which is a perk for lactose intolerant folks. Whether you’re gluten free, lactose intolerant, or just like good muffins, give this recipe a try and you’ll be happy you did.
