Chef AJ’s Banana Oat Muffins, with my tweaks.
I have always said that I never met a recipe I couldn’t tweak and this one is no exception! J
Pre-heat oven to 350*
INGREDIENTS:
4 very ripe bananas
2 cups rolled oats, ground to flour in the VitaMix
½ cup apple juice (I use 2T maple syrup + water to = ½ cup)
½ cup applesauce (I process 2 cored, peeled apples in the FP w/1 T maple syrup)
2T ground flax seed
1 t cinnamon
½ T vanilla
1 t baking soda
1 t baking powder
½ cup chopped walnuts
2 cups frozen blueberries
Place oat flour into a large bowl and add ground flax, cinnamon, baking powder and baking soda. Stir until combined
Process bananas in food processor with S blade til very smooth. Then add in applesauce, water + syrup (or apple juice), and vanilla and process until mixed well.
Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and mix until just combined; don’t overmix.
Gently fold in frozen blueberries and chopped walnuts.
Spoon into 18 paper muffin liners that have been quickly sprayed with baking spray, in muffin tins.
Bake for 35-36 minutes, until a toothpick inserted in the middle comes out clean.
Each muffin has aprox 60 calories without nuts, about 75 with nuts.
