This has been my favourite and go to baked-good recipe for a while! I have been experimenting with it and finally think I have come to the perfect muffin!
Why I love these muffins:
Healthy – almost the same ingredients as eating oatmeal!
Easy – one bowl, no fancy equipment
Versatile – I love to eat these on weekends with my smoothie for breakfast, bring them as an afternoon snack, to a brunch, bake sale or to-go breakfast!
These muffins look a little wonky because I baked them in mason jars! I realized after mixing the batter I didn’t have a muffin tin. If your mason jars are safe to put in the oven it makes a great to-go breakfast package!

Recipe
- 2 Ripe Bananas
- 2 Tbsp Flax + 5 Tbsp Water
- ⅓ Cup Unsweetened Plant milk
- 1 tsp Apple Cider Vinegar
- ½ Cup Maple Syrup
- ¼ Cup Melted Coconut oil
- 1 tsp vanilla (optional)
- 1¾ Cup Oats (ground into oat flour) + More for topping
- ½ tsp Cinnamon + More for topping
- 1 tsp Baking Powder
- ½ Cup Vegan Chocolate Chunks (optional)
- ½ Cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)
- Preheat oven to 325 F
- Mix flax and water, and let it sit in the fridge while you mix the rest of your wet ingredients.
- Use a fork to mash your ripe bananas in a large bowl (the riper the better)! Add the plant milk, vinegar, maple syrup, melted coconut oil and vanilla (if using).
- When the flax egg has set it will have the consistency of gel (or an egg white). Add this to the bowl.
- Make oat flour by adding your oats to a blender and blending until a flour consistency is formed. Add this along with the cinnamon and baking soda until mixed.
- Stir in your chocolate chunks (recommended) and walnuts if using.
- Add to a lined muffin tin and top with extra oats, walnuts and cinnamon. I also used dried banana chips! If you do not have a muffin tin, I used small mason jars which I greased with coconut oil!
- Bake for 50-55 min.
**Some glass can expand in the oven and explode, I am lucky mine did not. Before you try my sketchy experiment, check which kind of glass it is made out of.
