Equipment

  • muffin pans
  • high-powered blender or food processor

Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups old fashioned oats to make these gluten free, make sure the oats are certified gluten free
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon fine sea salt
  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup banana mashed, about 2 large
  • 2 eggs lightly beaten
  • ½ cup maple syrup

  • 1 cup grated carrots about 2 large
  • 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
  • Dark chocolate chips optional

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Grease or line muffin pans.
  • Use a high-powered blender or food processor to grind the oats into a flour. Transfer oat flour to a bowl, and add the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a separate bowl, mash the bananas and add the beaten eggs, maple syrup, grated zucchini and carrots, and vanilla.
  • Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and mix with rubber spatula. Let the mixture sit for about 20 minutes to get thicker if desired.
  • Scoop the mixture into the greased muffin pans. Press about 5 to 7 chocolate chips into some of the muffins if desired.
  • Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until a toothpick placed in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Let them cool slightly, and enjoy! The muffins will be moist in the middle.

Notes

You can decrease the maple syrup to ¼ cup, or replace it with applesauce or honey. Store in an airtight container at room temp or the fridge for 3-4 days. These muffins can be frozen.
