Banana Oat Muffin Tops (Vegan)
Kayla Castle • March 24, 2021
When I was a kid I always picked out the biggest muffin I could find at the bakery. Just to eat the muffin top and leave the other half of muffin for my mom.
This inspired me to create a healthier only muffin top recipe! Filled with wholesome ingredients like oats and bananas. Plus, some chocolate chips, because is it even a muffin without any chocolate ??
Recipe
Ingredients:
• 3 medium over-ripe bananas, mashed
• 1 flax egg (1 T ground flaxseed + 3 T water set in bowl for 10 minutes)
• ¼ cup maple syrup
• 2 tablespoon coconut oil, melted.
• 1 cup oat flour
• ½ cup whole old-fashioned oats
• ½ cup fine almond flour
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• Pinch of salt
• ½ cup chocolate chips
Method
1.) Make flax egg and set aside. Preheat oven to 350F and line a baking sheet with a non-slip mat or parchment paper.
2.) In a large bowl combine the mashed bananas, maple syrup, flax egg and coconut oil. Stir in the oat flour, oats and almond flour. Next stir in cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder and salt.
3.) Lastly fold in chocolate chips.
4.) Using a cookie scoop, form 3 tablespoon batter per muffin top.
5.) Bake for 20-25 minutes till done. Enjoy !
Do you find looking at nutrition labels to be confusing and overwhelming? There is a lot of information there, with lots of numbers that add to the confusion. Let’s break down the top things to look out for on a nutrition label:
You know when you eat something sweet and then later in the day you start feeling sluggish and tired? That sugar crash feeling is from a sharp rise in blood sugar levels followed by a decline. Having consistent blood sugar levels provides us with a consistent energy boost. By structuring our meals in a balanced pattern, you will be less likely to experience a “sugar crash”.
