Ingredients
Scale
Wet Ingredients
- 3 medium, very ripe bananas (1 cup mashed)
- ¼ cup melted coconut oil
- ¼ cup coconut sugar
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax + 3 tablespoons water, whisk together, set for 15 mins)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups gluten free oat flour – if using homemade oat flour, make sure it’s very finely ground (not coarse)*
- ¾ cup almond meal**
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- ¼ teaspoon salt
Add-ins
- 1 cup fresh blueberries, washed and dried
Optional for topping
- 2–3 tablespoons blueberries
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with muffin liners.
- Add peeled bananas to a large mixing bowl. Using a sturdy whisk or pastry cutter, mash bananas until smooth. Add the oil, sugar, flax egg, and vanilla. Whisk until well incorporated.
- Add oat flour, almond meal**, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk together until just incorporated, making sure no flour patches remain. Fold in blueberries.
- Using a large scoop, scoop and drop batter evenly into muffin cups. I use this ice cream scoop for easy scooping and a beautiful round top***. If not using the scoop, smooth batter into an even layer, with a domed top (rise) in the center. Optional: press blueberries on top of the muffins.
- Bake for 16-22 minutes. Mine took 18 minutes. Allow to cool on a cooling rack for about 1 hour. Lift out and enjoy!

Notes
- Where to Buy Ingredients: Gluten Free Oat Flour (or try Homemade Oat Flour) | Almond Meal 13 oz | Coconut Oil | Coconut Sugar | Bob’s Red Mill Ground Flaxseed | Coconut Sugar 3pk | Pure Vanilla Extract
- *If using homemade oat flour, make sure to sift the flour to remove coarse bits of oats that could create grainy muffins.
- **To substitute almond meal with oat flour: use a TOTAL of 1 ¾ cups + 2 tablespoons gluten free oat flour. Muffins will be just a touch drier and not as fluffy, but still good!
- ***I like to use this ice cream scoop to scoop and drop one scoop into one muffin cup. This scoop helps control the batter, prevent messes and gives you a nice rounded top. Tip: after dropping scoops, lightly tap the pan to even out the batter.
- Storing Notes: Store in an airtight container for up to 1 week in the refrigerator. Best the first few days.
- Recommended Tools: Muffin Pan | Cupcake Muffin Holder | 4 Event Timer | Muffin Batter Scoop | Parchment Cupcake Liners | Pastry Cutter
