These Vegan Banana Oatmeal Muffins are a must-have for breakfast or an afternoon snack. They’re super moist, naturally sweetened with bananas and maple syrup, and inherently gluten-free. Don’t forget the chocolate chips for an extra decadent twist.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease or line a standard 12-cup muffin tin. Set aside.
Add the wet ingredients to a blender. Blend for 10 seconds to combine, then set aside.
Add the oat flour and baking powder to a large mixing bowl and whisk to combine.
Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a wooden spoon until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Some lumps left behind in the batter are okay. Use a silicone spatula to fold in the walnuts and optional chocolate chips.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
Place the tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a cooling rack. Cool the muffins completely before serving. Enjoy!
