Ingredients
• The Natural Sweetener: 2 large ripe bananas, mashed.
• The Flourless Base: 150g (1½ cups) rolled oats.
• The Bind: 2 eggs.
• The Lift: 1 tsp baking powder.
• The “Magic” Flavor: 2 tbsp unsweetened Cocoa Powder (as seen in your photo) and a pinch of Sea Salt.
• Optional Crunch: ½ cup chopped Walnuts or sugar-free dark chocolate chips.
Preparation Steps
1. Prep the Base: In a large glass bowl, mash the ripe bananas until they are smooth and creamy.
2. Mix it Up: Whisk in the eggs until well combined. Stir in the rolled oats, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt.
3. Rest the Batter: Let the mixture sit for 5–10 minutes. This allows the oats to soak up the liquid, ensuring your muffins are “soft and fluffy” rather than dry.
4. Fill the Tins: Spoon the batter into a greased muffin tin (like the one in your photo), filling each cup about ¾ of the way full.
5. Bake: Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
6. The Reveal: Let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before moving to a wire rack. As seen in your picture, they should have a beautiful, rustic “crack” on top!
Why This Fits Your “Healthy Treasure” Collection
• Naturally Flourless: Rolled oats provide a complex carbohydrate base that is far superior to refined flour, supporting steady blood sugar.
• Zero Added Sugar: The ripeness of the bananas provides all the sweetness you need, keeping the recipe clean and “reborn”.
• High Satiety: Packed with fiber and protein from the oats and eggs, these muffins will keep you full much longer than traditional bakery muffins.
