Try these easy, healthy and delicious Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Muffins, made with Oats Flour and Organic Coconut Palm Sugar. These are completely refined flour free and refined sugar free muffins. You can have them as healthy grab and go breakfast muffins or as a dessert.
Preheat oven to 350 degree F (i.e. 180 degree Celsius). Mash the bananas in a bowl.
Now add coconut sugar, eggs, oil and vanilla extract. With a hand whisk, mix everything together till all the ingredients are completely blended. Wet ingredients mixture is ready.
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 and gently fold everything again (do not over-mix).
Grease a standard muffin tin with oil. Scoop out 2-3 tablespoons of muffin batter and pour 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.
The Healthy Banana Blueberry Oat Muffins are ready to be served warm, or these can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for a week. You can also freeze the muffins in a freezer safe bag for upto 3 months.

Notes
You can use any neutral flavored vegetable oil available with you.
Organic coconut palm sugar can be substituted with equal amount of jaggery powder.
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) in a food processor. Just a few pulses, and you have your own Oat flour available at home.
Do not over mix the batter after adding dry ingredients. Over-mixing may result in air pockets which get formed on top and inside of the baked goods.
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.
