HEALTHY DAIRY FREE BANANA CHOCOLATE CHIP OAT MUFFINS NUTRITION
1 banana oat muffin has 186 calories, 32 grams carbs, 4 grams protein, 6.6 grams fat (3.3g polyunsaturated, 0.6 monounsaturated), 232 milligrams potassium, 4 grams fiber, 9 grams added sugar (from maple syrup), and 2.9 milligrams iron.
IS WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR BETTER THAN ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR IN MUFFINS? Whole wheat flour is much healthier than all-purpose flour. Whole wheat flour is higher in fat, potassium, fiber, protein, iron, vitamin B6, and magnesium. It is also lower in carbs than all-purpose flour.
TIPS TO MAKE THE BEST EVER DAIRY FREE BANANA OAT MUFFINS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
USE ULTRA RIPE BANANAS. Ultra ripe bananas give you a sweet muffin without having to add too much sweetener.
DO NOT OVER MIX YOUR BATTER. Mix only until you don't see any dry flour left. If you overmix muffins, you won't get a soft and fluffy banana muffin.
BAKE ONLY TILL A TOOTHPICK COMES OUT CLEAN. Don't over bake your muffins either! Over baking will dry out muffins.
HOW TO MAKE DAIRY FREE BANANA OAT MUFFINS WITH CHOCOLATE CHIPS
To make them, first mix together the dry ingredients.
- Whole wheat flour
- Rolled oats
- Baking powder & baking soda
- Salt
In a separate bowl, mix together the wet ingredients.
- Bananas
- Eggs
- Avocado oil
- Milk
- Maple Syrup
This recipe is best with super ripe bananas!
Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until just combined. At this point, you can also fold in the chocolate chips.
Don't over mix your muffins! Over mixing will result in hard and chewy muffins.
Spoon your batter evenly between the 12 prepared muffin cups. Bake them for 16-18 minutes.
3 ways you can tell your muffins are done:
- They are golden brown on top
- A toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean
- They spring back to form when pressed
These are best during the first 3-4 days. If you don't think you can eat this many, or have a smaller family, you can easily make a half batch!
HOW TO MAKE VEGAN BANANA OAT MUFFINS:
To make your banana oatmeal muffins vegan, simply use these substitutions:
- 2 eggs--> use 2 flax eggs
- ½ cup dark chocolate chips--> use vegan chocolate chips
All other ingredients are already vegan.
