<\/figure>\nWe are big fans of nourishing muffin recipes around here. From butternut squash muffins<\/a> and blueberry buckwheat muffins<\/a> to chocolate beet muffins<\/a>, there\u2019s a muffin for every occasion and season in our home. But these banana oat muffins are the most popular breakfast recipe frequently requested by our kids.<\/p>\n While we try to stick with ingredients we grow here on our homestead or can source locally, our kids love the occasional banana. Our son recently requested these chocolate peanut butter banana scones<\/a> for his birthday and then the kids strongly urged that the rest of the bananas in the bunch be used to make these blender banana oatmeal muffins. I happily obliged when they agreed to make them (mostly) themselves.<\/p>\n These banana oatmeal muffins are great because they are completely flourless muffins. They only use nutritious ingredients that we always have on hand.<\/p>\n Eggs \u2013<\/strong> With the abundance of eggs our chickens give us on our homestead, we\u2019ve always stuck with our homegrown eggs in this recipe. I would not recommend substituting flax eggs because of how this recipe comes together in the blender.<\/p>\n Oats \u2013<\/strong> Our favorite oats are the certified gluten-free and glyphosate free rolled oats from One Degree. But any sort of oats\u2014rolled or quick oats\u2014will work!<\/p>\n Overripe Bananas \u2013<\/strong> The riper, blacker and spottier, the better.<\/p>\n Yogurt \u2013<\/strong> Either plain Greek yogurt or regular yogurt<\/a> will work in these healthy banana blender muffins.<\/p>\n Pure Maple Syrup \u2013<\/strong> You could substitute honey if needed but we love the way that maple syrup compliments the bananas in these muffins. This recipe only needs a little bit of sweetness with no other added sugar.<\/p>\n Baking Powder \u2013<\/strong> We always buy aluminum free baking powder from Bob\u2019s Red Mill.<\/p>\n Baking Soda<\/strong><\/p>\n Sea Salt<\/strong><\/p>\n Vanilla Extract (optional) \u2013<\/strong> We usually omit but if you are a big fan of vanilla extract, it can definitely enhance the flavor.<\/p>\n There are so many different ways you can go here! Our kids love adding cinnamon and raisins but other great mix-in options include:<\/p>\n Whatever different flavor combination you choose\u2014from banana walnut to chocolate chip banana served with a bit of almond butter, or even completely plain\u2014you\u2019ll love these blender banana oat muffins.<\/p>\n As a busy homesteading and homeschooling Mom, the best part about this recipe is how quick and easy it is! In fact, it\u2019s a great one to invite your kids into and, before you know it, they will be able to make it all by themselves. All you do is gather ingredients, blend, pour, and bake\u2014no mixing bowl necessary!<\/p>\n Step 1 – <\/strong>Add all ingredients to the blender pitcher besides any mix in\u2019s you plan to add into your muffins.<\/p>\n Step 2 –<\/strong> Blend all of the ingredients (minus the mix-ins) until a smooth batter is formed.<\/p>\n Step 3 –<\/strong> Pour batter from the blender into prepared muffin cups, scraping down the sides of the blender to get all of the banana goodness. You can use a standard muffin tin with paper liners, use an olive oil cooking spray to grease muffin cups, or our favorite method is to use muffin form silicone liners in our muffin pan.<\/p>\n Step 4 –<\/strong> Gently add mix-ins to the muffins directly. You could alternatively add your mix-ins to the batter in the blender, hand mix, and pour them into the muffin cups. But we\u2019ve found that the mix-ins tend to sink to the bottom. To distribute them evenly throughout, we prefer to add mix-ins directly to the already poured muffin cup.<\/p>\n Step 5 –<\/strong> Bake muffins at 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) for 15-20 minutes until muffins are fully cooked. The tops of the muffins tend to stay pretty light yellow without turning more of a golden brown.<\/p>\n Step 6 –<\/strong> Once the muffins cool to room temp, remove onto a wire rack and enjoy!<\/p>\n A food processor would work great instead of a blender. If neither are an option, you can use oat flour instead of the whole grain oats and mix the batter together in a standard mixing bowl.<\/p>\n They store best in an airtight container at room temperature for 3-5 days. If you want to store them for longer term, we like to make a double batch and store them in the freezer to use as needed.<\/p>\n We find that these make a great snack or breakfast along with a couple of hard-boiled eggs or some yogurt.<\/p>\n – 2 cups Oats 1. Add oats, yogurt, eggs, bananas, maple syrup, baking powder, baking soda, vanilla and salt to the blender container.<\/p>\n 2. Blend until the muffin batter is completely smooth.<\/p>\n 3. Pour batter into prepared muffin cups.<\/p>\n 4. Gently add mix-ins directly to muffin cups. Use a small spoon to stir them in. (Alternatively, you could add mix-ins to the batter and pour into muffin cups. However, we\u2019ve found that the mix-ins are distributed more evenly when we add them to the muffin cups directly.)<\/p>\n 5. Bake at 350\u00b0F (180\u00b0C) for 15-20 minutes.<\/p>\n 6. Remove from oven once the muffins are fully cooked and set on top. Allow to cool and remove.<\/p>\n Serve and enjoy or store in an air tight container for 3-5 days.<\/p>\n For similar recipes, check out:<\/strong><\/p>\nSimple Ingredients<\/h2>\n
