Gluten-Free Oatmeal Apple Muffins
Servings: 9 muffins
Ingredients
For the muffins:
- 2 cups old-fashioned oats
- 3 bananas very ripes
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter or any nut butter
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Pinch of salt
For the chocolate swirl
- 3.5oz (100g) dark chocolate chopped or broken into pieces
- 1 tablespoon milk of choice
- Or: fold 1 cup of chocolate chips into the batter instead for an easier option.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
- Add the oats, bananas, eggs, peanut butter, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to a food processor. Blend until smooth.
- Divide the batter evenly among 8–9 muffin cups.
- Melt the dark chocolate with the milk until smooth — a quick 30–60 seconds in the microwave works great, stirring in between.
- Spoon the melted chocolate over the muffin batter, then use a skewer to swirl it in. Alternatively, skip the swirl and sprinkle chocolate chips over the top before baking.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
