Ingredients

  • 1 ½ tablespoons ground flaxseed 10g
  • ⅓ cup almond milk 80mL
  • 3 medium ripe bananas mashed – about 1 ⅓ cups / 300g
  • ⅓ cup melted coconut oil or any neutral oil – 80mL
  • ¾ cup light brown sugar 150g
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5mL
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats 80g
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour 180g
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder 3g
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 2g
  • ¼ teaspoon salt 1.5g
  • ½ cup vegan chocolate chips 80g

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the ground flaxseed and almond milk. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  • Add the flax mixture, melted coconut oil, light brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the bananas. Whisk until combined.
  • Stir in the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix until just combined—do not overmix.
  • Gently fold the chocolate chips into the batter.
  • Divide the batter evenly between the 12 muffin cups, filling each almost to the top. Sprinkle extra oats or chocolate chips on top if desired.
  • Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean (melted chocolate is fine).
  • Let the muffins cool in the tin for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Room temperature: Let the muffins cool completely, then transfer them to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 4 days.
  • Freezer: These banana oatmeal muffins freeze very well! Transfer them to a freezer bag or airtight container and keep them in the freezer for up to 2 months. You can let them thaw at room temperature before serving or warm them in the microwave until they’re heated through.
