Does anyone remember that Quaker oatmeal chocolate chip muffin mix?! I LIVED for that stuff. My mom was more of a homemade muffins kinda gal (thanks mother!), but once in a while, we could have those delectable chocolate chip muffins from the Quaker mix and they were to die for.I've always missed those and never really been able to replicate them in a healthy way...until NOW. Like many of my best recipes, this one happened totally on a whim when I was hanging out with my girlfriends and we were low on ingredients for making a treat. My friend had tons of oats and ripe bananas, so I decided to whip up some oatmeal muffins and throw in tons of chocolate chips, as one does.As soon as my friends tried these, they were hooked. We ate the whole batch AND I made more in the morning after our slumber party (I swear we are 25). We agreed that they tasted so similar to those Quaker muffins from the mix, so I knew I had to post the recipe for you guys.These are so simple to make and the fact that they are "healthier" is the cherry on top. Enjoy!
Gluten-Free Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins
Ingredients
1 ¾ cups oat flour
1 tsp. baking soda
½ tsp. sea salt
½ tsp. cinnamon
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
½ cup coconut sugar
⅓ cup coconut oil, melted + cooled
½ cup almond or other nut milk, at room temperature
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips (or more)
Method
Preheat the over to 350 degrees and line or grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
In a large bowl, mix together your mashed bananas, coconut sugar, coconut oil and nut milk until combined. Add in your egg and vanilla and beat well until you have a smooth and foamy mixture.
To the wet ingredients, add your oat flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Use a spatula to gently mix until it is just incorporated into the wet mixture. Fold in your chocolate chips.
Divide batter evenly between the muffin cups and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until muffins are puffy and set in the middle and a toothpick in the centre of one comes out clean.
Let cool on a wire rack for at least 20 minutes before serving.
Makes 12 muffins
