Ingredients

FOR THE OAT AND BANANA MUFFINS

2 Ripe Bananas mashed
2 Eggs
¼ cup Honey or Maple Syrup
¼ cup Unsweetened Applesauce
¼ cup Almond Milk (or any milk of your choice)
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
1 ½ cups Rolled Oats
½ cup Whole Wheat Flour
1 tsp Baking Powder
½ tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt

FOR THE CRUNCHY OAT TOPPING

½ cup Rolled Oats
2 tbsp Honey or Maple Syrup
2 tbsp Coconut Oil or Butter melted
¼ tsp Cinnamon
Pinch of Salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix together the rolled oats, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring halfway through, until the oats are golden brown and crispy. Allow the oat topping to cool completely before using it to top your oat banana muffins.
Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large mixing bowl, add the mashed bananas, eggs, honey or maple syrup, applesauce, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
Whisk until well combined.
In another bowl, add the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Whisk until well combined.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Sprinkle the cooled oat topping on top, gently pressing it into the batter with your fingers.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
