Chef AJ’s Banana Oat Muffins, with my tweaks!

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.
