Equipment
- 2 mixing bowls
- 1 Whisk
- 1 wooden spoon
- 1 grater
- 8-12 muffin liners
- 1 muffin tin
Ingredients
For the muffins
- 1 cup oat flour*
- 1 cup blanched almond flour
- 3/4 tsp. baking soda
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 2 very ripe medium-sized bananas
- 2 eggs
- 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 tbsp. coconut or avocado oil
- 2 tsp. lemon zest
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tbsp. chia seeds
For the lemon maple glaze
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tbsp. lemon juice
- 1 tbsp. maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a muffin tin with muffin liner and spray with cooking spray to prevent from sticking.
- In a large bowl, whisk oat flour, almond flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- In another bowl, mash the bananas and mix together with eggs, maple syrup, vanilla, almond milk, coconut oil and lemon juice until smooth and well combined. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and stir until combined.
- Fold in the chia seeds and use a cookie scoop to divide the batter evenly into the muffin tins. Bake for approximately 20-22 minutes.
- Whisk together the ingredients for the lemon maple glaze (add more lemon juice or almond milk to thin it out if needed)
- Once the muffins have slightly cooled drizzle a little over each one, and enjoy!
Notes
*If you don't have oat flour simply pulse oats in a food processor or high speed blender until they turn into a flour-like consistency.
