Ingredients
Dry Ingredients
- 2 cups oat flour
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ cup light brown sugar (packed)
Wet Ingredients
- ¼ cup coconut oil
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup plain 5% Greek yogurt
Topping
- ½ cup oat flour
- 1.5 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1.5 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tray: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃) and line a muffin tray with paper liners to ensure easy removal and cleanup.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a bowl, whisk together 2 cups oat flour, baking soda, baking powder, and kosher salt. This will ensure even distribution of leavening agents throughout your muffins.
- Cream Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, cream the brown sugar with coconut oil until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Then add vanilla extract, mashed bananas, eggs, and Greek yogurt. Mix on low speed until all wet ingredients are well combined.
- Mix Dry and Wet Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients and mix gently until just combined, avoiding overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
- Fill Muffin Wells: Spoon about ¼ cup of batter into each muffin liner, dividing the mixture evenly to yield 12 muffins.
- Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool: Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container once cooled.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
- Greek yogurt adds protein and moisture; substitute with regular yogurt if preferred.
- Ensure not to overmix the batter to keep muffins light and fluffy.
- Optional: Add nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra texture.
- Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
