Healthy Oatmeal Banana Muffins

They’re gluten, dairy, and refined sugar-free. Made with a base of brown rice flour, ripe bananas, and gluten-free rolled oats, the ingredients are simple, wholesome, and clean.

These muffins are naturally sweetened with Coconut Palm Sugar; a lower glycemic and more nutritionally dense sugar when compared to other sweeteners. Low glycemic sweeteners are less likely to spike blood sugar levels, with coconut sugar scoring lower than white or brown sugar, honey, molasses, and maple syrup!

If you have a gluten sensitivity or allergy, be sure to use certified gluten-free rolled oats. My favorite brand is Avena Foods. They're a Canadian Company that produces sustainabley grown, Certified Gluten-Free, Organic, and Non-GMO oat crops. You can easily find them on Amazon, London Drugs, and at most natural food stores like Whole Foods or Pomme Market.

Ingredients

  • 1.5 cups GF rolled oats

  • 1.5 cups brown rice flour

  • 1/3 cup organic coconut palm sugar

  • 1 tsp cinnamon

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda

  • 1/4 tsp salt

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed

  • 2 whole eggs

  • 1 cup almond milk (or other dairy-free milk)

  • 1/4 cup coconut oil

  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar

Optional

  • 1 cup dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Method

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with coconut oil. Mix together all dry ingredients in a medium-sized bowl. Add in wet ingredients, and stir until smooth. Evenly divide batter between each muffin tin. Bake muffins for approximately 30 minutes, or until the center is cooked and the tops are golden brown.
