How to Make Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins

Before baking, grab out all of the ingredients you’ll need. This ensures you have everything you’ll need and makes the baking process quicker! You’ll also want to spray your muffin tin with non-stick spray and preheat your oven now.

In a medium bowl combine oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.

In a large bowl combine the mashed banana, sugar, brown sugar, veggie oil, vanilla extract, and eggs.

Then, slowly mix in the medium bowl of ingredients into the large bowl of ingredients. Be sure not to over-mix this. After, add in the chocolate chips!

Lastly, divide this batter into the 12 spaces. If you love chocolate chips add a few extra now.

Pop them in the oven for about 16-18 minutes and you’ve got yourself a delicious batch of Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins!

Be sure to let them cool before digging in!

Expert Tips and Tricks

After testing this recipe a few times I have come up with a few expert tips and tricks to help make the muffins come out delicious:

• Use ripe bananas! The more spots makes for a sweeter banana.
• Remove the muffins just before they are done. Then, allow them to finish cooking on the muffin tin outside of the oven.
• Don’t over-mix the batter.
• If you love the look of a chocolate chip-filled muffin, add additional chocolate chips to the top of batter in the tins prior to putting in the oven.

Once you make this recipe a few times you’ll be an expert, too! If you discover any tips and tricks leave them in the comments down below so others (and I!) can try them out!

Additions and Substitutions

No recipe is perfect for everyone! Here are a few additions or substitutions you could use to adjust this recipe to be exactly what you’re hoping for!

• Instead of using half brown sugar and half white sugar, use the full amount of just one of the two.

• Try white chocolate chips instead of milk chocolate chips.
• Use a different flour.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ’s)

If you have a question that hasn’t been answered so far it may be here! If your question remains unanswered leave it in the comments down below and I will get you an answer!

Are these muffins gluten free?

Typically, yes. You do need to be sure your oat flour is guaranteed to be gluten-free. With oats, there is a potential for them to not be gluten-free or for cross-contamination so be cautious!

A Word From A Registered Dietitian

When you hear oat flour do you assume it is healthy? The difference between oat flour and all purpose flour may not be as great as you’d assume!

While both flours have 110 calories in a serving, that is where the similarities end.

Nutrition (¼c)	Oat Flour	All-Purpose Flour
Calories	110	110
Protein	4g	3g
Carbohydrates	21g	23g
Dietary Fat	2g	0g
Fiber	3g	1g

Oat flour has a marginal more amount of protein, dietary fat, and fiber while it is lower in carbohydrates than all-purpose flour.

So, when deciding between the two flours, consider other factors such as if you need it to be gluten-free, preference, and what you have access to!
