It’s raining blueberries these days. Every now and then we bring packs of blueberries, which are either consumed directly, or as a part of overnight oats. This time though, I tried my hands on oats banana and blueberry muffins.

I loved the texture and softness of these muffins. And the best part, these are completely no refined sugar and no flour muffins. Just grab the old fashioned rolled oats (I used old fashioned Quaker oats) and grind them in a food processor to make some oat flour, and there you have the main ingredient required to make the recipe.

Ingredients & Substitutes

Bananas

Use medium sized bananas for this recipe. Also, it’s recommended to use over-ripe bananas, for best results.

Coconut Sugar

Organic Coconut Palm Sugar is a healthier sweetener option compared to it’s white refined sugar counterpart. It is derived from the sap of coconut palm tree, so it is a plant based sweetener with a distinctive flavor. As a substitute, you can use equal amount of jaggery powder if you don’t have coconut sugar available.

Vegetable Oil

I have used Avocado Oil in this recipe, but feel free to use any neutral flavored oil here.

Oats flour

If you don’t have ready-made oats flour or oatmeal available, then you can make your own by pulsing the the old fashioned Quaker Oats (rolled oats) in a food processor. Just a few pulses, and you have your own Oats flour available at home.

Blueberries

I have made the muffins using fresh blueberries. But feel free to use frozen blueberries. Also, you can substitute the blueberries with other berries, like raspberries, chopped strawberries, or even a mixed berry blend.

Spices (Ground Cinnamon & Nutmeg)

Ground Cinnamon and Ground Nutmeg provide the right amount of flavor, warmth and earthiness to the oatmeal muffins. You can increase or decrease the amount of these spices, or even add different spices as per your liking.

Other Ingredients

The other ingredients in the healthy blueberry banana muffins recipe include eggs, vanilla extract, baking soda, baking powder and salt.

How to make the Oatmeal Banana Blueberry muffins?

Here is a simple step-by-step process for making these easy and healthy muffins at home (with process shots)!

Preheat oven to 350 degree F (180 degree C). Mash the bananas in a bowl. Now add coconut sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. Mix everything together till all the ingredients are completely blended.

Add oats flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon and ground nutmeg to the wet ingredient mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold in the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients (do not over-mix). Now add the blueberries to the muffin batter.

Gently fold in the blueberries (do not over-mix). Grease a standard muffin pan with oil. Divide the batter into greased muffin cups. Bake the muffins in the oven for around 25-30 minutes or till the muffins are done (when the inserted toothpick in the muffin comes out clean). Remove the muffins from the oven, and allow them to cool for 5-10 minutes.

Tips & Notes

If you don’t have oats flour or oatmeal available, then you can make your own by pulsing the the old fashioned Quaker Oats (rolled oats) for a few times in a food processor.
You can add some chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts etc) to the muffin batter if you like.
You can even add in some semi-sweet chocolate chips, if you are making the muffins for kids.
To freeze the muffins, first option is that you can individually wrap each muffin in a plastic wrap and place them in freezer safe bag, or the second option is to just pop the muffins in a freezer safe bag. To serve frozen muffins, thaw the frozen muffins at room temperature and simply heat them up in the microwave for around 30 seconds.
For making gluten free muffins, make sure to use certified gluten free oat flour.
