Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 cups (180g) whole wheat flour
  • 2/3 cup (80g) quick oats
  • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1 1/4 cup (275g) mashed overripe banana
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (60g) light brown sugar, packed
  • 1/4 cup (45g) canola oil (or other neutral oil) (optional, helps keep muffin from sticking to wrapper)
  • 1/3 cup (105g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/2 cup (110g) unsweetened oat milk (or any kind of milk)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup (80g) chocolate chips (I like mini chocolate chips)

Instructions
 

  • In a medium mixing bowl, add the flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt. Whisk to combine and set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana then mix in the eggs and sugar. Whisk until well combined. Add the oil, applesauce, milk and vanilla extract and whisk until combined.
  • Add the dry ingredients into the wet mixture and fold until almost combined. Add the chocolate chips and fold to combine, just don't overmix! Let batter rest for 30 minutes and preheat the oven to 425℉ while you wait.
  • Line or spray 12 muffin tins. Fill each tin to almost overflowing. Use all of the batter! As we've rested the batter, it won't actually spill out the sides.
  • Bake at 425℉ for 5 minutes and then without opening the oven door, drop the temperature to 350℉ and bake for an additional 15-18 minutes or until they spring back when touched or a toothpick comes out clean. These tend to stick to the wrapper when warm so try to wait until they're cooled. Once fully cooled store in an airtight container for up to 3 days and enjoy!
