Oat Flour Banana Muffin Ingredients

How to Make Oat Flour Banana Muffins
Step 1: Prep. Preheat the oven and grease or line a muffin pan with paper liners.
Step 2: Mix the dry ingredients. In a small bowl, combine the oat flour, baking powder, salt, and spices.
Stir to combine and set aside.
Step 3: Mix the wet ingredients. In a separate large bowl, combine the brown sugar and mashed banana. Using a hand blender or stand mixer, beat on low until smooth and no lumps of banana remain.
Add the almond milk and oil. Beat on low until combined.
Step 4: Combine the dry and wet ingredients. Stir in the flour mixture and rolled oats by hand until just combined.
Step 5: Pour the muffin batter into the muffin tins. Scoop even portions of the batter into the prepared muffin tins, filling to about ¼” below the top.
Step 6: Bake. Bake until a skewer inserted comes out clean, about half an hour.
Step 7: Cool the muffins. Allow the muffins to cool for 30 minutes before serving.
