Recipe:
Servings: 12 muffins
Prep time: 10-15 minutes
Cook time: 30-35 minutes
1 cup whole or quick oats
1 1/4 cups oat flour (ground oats)
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 overripe bananas mashed
1/4 cup nut or seed butter
2 flax eggs (2 tbs ground flax + 6 tbs water)
3/4 cup milk (I used almond)
1/3 to 1/2 cup sweetener of choice (I used baking stevia)
2 tsp vanilla
1 cup berries (fresh or frozen)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray cupcake pan with nonstick spray.
Make the flax eggs in a small bowl and set aside.
Mix the oats, oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and sweetener in a medium sized bowl until well combined.
Whisk the mashed banana, nut butter, milk, flax eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl.
Add the dry mixture to the wet mixture and whisk until well combined.
Fold in the berries and nuts.
Fill each muffin to the line, about 1/2 cup of batter. It should be enough for 12 muffins.
Sprinkle some oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon on top if desired.
Bake for about 30 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
Top with nut butter or a plant-based butter and enjoy!

This recipe is kind of a cross between banana bread and berry muffins because I had some browning bananas and frozen berries to get rid of. I thought that they turned out pretty good and tasted great with melted peanut butter on top! Did you know that heating your peanut butter up in the microwave makes it nice and runny? You probably already knew that but there's a pro tip in case you didn't! I heated a tbs up for about 45 seconds. These muffins are a great healthy breakfast that you can easily meal prep and take on the go. They have whole grains, fruits, and healthy fats which makes for the perfect breakfast for you or your kids! I've been eating two for breakfast with some pb on top and a creamy coffee on the side and it fills me right up! I think you could easily add protein powder in there as well if you want them to be even heartier and more filling. I would take out 1/2 cup of the oat flour and replace it with 1/4 cup of protein powder. You could try replacing the whole cup with 1/2 cup of protein but I'm not sure if there will be enough volume. I used baking stevia to sweeten mine but you can use any sugar or sweetener that you prefer. The baking stevia did give them a slight aftertaste but it's not bad.
