Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins (Wheat-free, Egg-free, Vegan)

April 25th, 2011 Nancy
These things never last at my house.  They are sweet, moist and filling.  I made these for breakfast today.  The kids ate 11 of the 12 muffins before the day was over.  I usually quadruple the recipe and freeze a couple dozen for later.  My kids love these so much they have been known to sneak one out of the freezer and eat it frozen!

 

Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Muffins

Ingredients:
  • 4 very ripe bananas
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 3/4 cup oat flour (how to make oat flour)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 cup chocolate chips (I use Enjoy Life brand)
Instructions:
  1. Preheat oven to 350.  Grease or line a 12 muffin pan.
  2. Blend bananas, oil and honey in a large bowl.  Leave the bananas chunky if you want little pieces in your muffin.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients in a separate bowl.
  4. Add dry mixture to wet mixture and mix just until blended.  It’s OK if it’s lumpy.
  5. Fill muffin tins about 2/3 full.  I use an ice cream scoop to do this.
  6. Bake 20-25 minutes until golden brown and firm to touch.

    I’m glad I found your site! I’m sending your site to a close relative that just found out he has tons of food allergies. The muffins look great! Miriam@Meatless Meals For Meat Eaters

    Thanks for sharing on The Weekend Gourmet. These look fantastic. Like you, I’d make a triple batch and freeze them, though I’d be the one eating them straight out of the freezer (and blaming the kids).

    I love how simple these are! Do you think it would work if you replaced the flax eggs with chia seed eggs? Myself and flax aren’t really friends, so they don’t work for me.

    We love muffins, and I’m sure these would go quickly at my house too. My problem is that bananas don’t last long enough around here for me to bake with them. I’m like you, when I make muffins I like to make extra to freeze.

    Thanks for participating in Gluten-Free Wednesdays. I think you forgot to add me to your list of carnivals, though. 🙂

      I’m so sorry about the link back! I have fixed it. Our internet went down several times in the storms last night while I was trying to do link ups. I thought I got them all. Please forgive me!

    Yum! These look so good! Bananas never make it to the mushy stage needed for baking in our house. I really need to hide some so I can try this. Thanks for sharing.

    Your site is so interesting. I am so impressed at how much you can do without wheat and eggs. But are you a vegan? Are you familiar with Nourishing Traditions and Sally Fallon? Be sure to check out the Weston A Price Foundation web site. I am a bit worried for you about being a vegan.

    Love,

    Mary

    • Nancy says:
      April 29, 2011 at 4:50 pm

      Thanks Mary! No I am not a vegan. 🙂 In fact I am a huge WAPF fan, but my daughter is allergic or intolerant to eggs, dairy, wheat and nuts. So, we do the best we can.

    Just found you through Sweet Tooth Friday. I love finding new recipes that I don’t have to change a thing on. And thanks for the flax egg link. I am working on becoming brave enough to switch it out sometimes.

    • Nancy says:

      So glad to help! I will be posting chia seed egg substitute soon. I hope you’ll subscribe or become a facebook fan so you don’t miss it!

    these look really good. although we don’t have allergies in this house, i do understand the value of adding items like this into the diet….it is just plain smart. speaking of smart, i so appreciate the idea of flax eggs…i have never heard of such a thing and am enthusiastic about trying it. thank you for sharing this tasty and innovative treat with tuesday night supper club!

    I don’t see any flaxseed meal listed in the ingredients – no idea how much to be adding (enough for 1 egg replacement? 2?) thanks.

    • Nancy says:

      Thank you Michelle! I had listed flax eggs when I first posted the recipe but decided it tastes better without them. I have updated the instructions. Thanks again!

    My muffins seem start getting moldy after a few days, should I freeze them right away?

    As a part time gluten-free baker, I look at your beautiful muffin and wonder what regular muffins could have to make them prettier or tastier. Gluten-free rocks.

    • Nancy says:
      July 14, 2011 at 5:19 pm

      🙂 I’m happy with the oat flour. The only thing these muffins are mssing are the eggs. You just don’t get that muffin top without them.

    What a delicious sounding (and looking!) recipe. It’s so difficult to make things that are both wheat and egg free, so it’s fantastic to see a recipe like this. Your muffins look like a real treat. Thank you for sharing them with Let’s Do Brunch!

    I made these for the 1st time today and they’re so yummy! (probably even more so if I let them cool more before eating one) Thanks for the recipe!

    I’ve been making these for my kids for a few months now. So easy and quick! I use 1/2 cup of coconut sugar instead of the honey and I usually use 5 bananas and raisons instead of chocolate chips. My kids LOVE them! Thanks so much for the recipe. It’s been a real life saver for me many times as my twin 22 month olds and my 3 year old go through picky stages, which is hard on a restricted diet. These never fail and I know that they will always eat them!

    • Nancy says:
      March 5, 2012 at 10:15 am

      Thank you so much Deb! I have debated switching out the honey but I never thought about raisins! My kids would probably revolt as they are chocoholics like their mom.

    Just found your website, which is amazing by the way! I have recently become dairy, soy,wheat, egg, nut, and chocolate free for my breastfed little one. I am excited to try a bunch of recipes from your site. Made these but substituted raisins for the chocolate chips. They were eaten very quickly by my picky 3 year old! Thank you very much!

    I just made these last night. Thanks so much. My daughter loved them. But I had to leave out the chocolate chips. Chocolate chips are not free from Milk. Everything I saw that I chould buy had at least Milk Fat for a binding agent. And the majority of them were processed in a plant that used nuts in other poducts. But it was still great even without the chocolate chips.
