PREPARATION

  • Prepare The Batter: In a mixing bowl, mash the banana until smooth. Add the oat flour, cocoa powder and baking powder. Stir in the almond milk and mix until a thick batter forms.
  • Transfer To The Baking Dish: Pour the batter into the prepared muffin cup, spreading it evenly.
  • Bake The Muffin: Place the muffin in the oven and bake for 12–15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Cool And Serve: Let the muffin cool for a few minutes before removing it from the cup. Enjoy warm, plain or with your favourite toppings.

PREP TIME

COOKING TIME

12–15 minutes

TIPS

  • Use Ripe Bananas: The riper the banana, the muffin will be sweeter, reducing the need for additional sweeteners.
  • Don’t Overmix The Batter: Stir just until combined to keep the muffin light and fluffy.
  • Adjust Consistency: If the batter feels too thick, add an extra teaspoon of almond milk to loosen it slightly.
  • Boost Flavour: A pinch of cinnamon or a drop of vanilla extract enhances the muffin’s taste.
  • Check For Doneness: Insert a toothpick into the centre. If it comes out clean, the muffin is ready.

VARIATIONS

  • Nutty Chocolate Muffin: Stir in ½ tsp chopped walnuts or almonds for added crunch.
  • Extra Chocolate Kick: Mix in ½ tsp dairy-free chocolate chips for a richer taste.
  • Berry Infusion: Add 2–3 blueberries or raspberries to the batter for a fruity contrast.
  • Spiced Muffin: Sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a warming flavour twist.
  • High-Protein Option: Stir in ½ tsp plant-based protein powder to increase protein content.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for 10 seconds before eating.
  • Freezing: Wrap the muffin tightly and freeze for up to 1 month. Thaw at room temperature or warm in the oven.
  • Meal Prep Friendly: Prepare dry ingredients in advance, store them in a small container and mix with wet ingredients when ready to bake.
