1 cup milk (unsweetened almond milk or cow’s milk)
¼ cup honey
1½ tablespoons vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1½ teaspoons cinnamon
½ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a blender, combine the oats, bananas, eggs, milk, honey, vanilla extract, baking powder, and cinnamon. Blend until smooth, ensuring the oats are finely ground.
- Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
- Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners. Distribute the batter evenly, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
- For extra indulgence, sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top of each muffin.
- Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
To make these muffins dairy-free, use almond milk and ensure the chocolate chips are dairy-free.
If you prefer a sugar-free version, substitute honey with a low-calorie sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
For extra texture, add chopped nuts or dried fruit to the batter.
These muffins are freezer-friendly and can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 months.
