Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup coconut oil melted*
- 1/3 cup organic brown coconut sugar*
- 1 cage free egg
- 1 flax egg {1 tbsp ground flax seed added to 3 tbsp warm water}
- 1 tbsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 tsp lemon juice
- 1/4 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 1/2 cups organic baby spinach {lightly packed}
- 1 3/4 cups rolled oats certified gluten-free if necessary*
- 1/4 cup peanut butter powder {I used PBFit}
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- pinch sea salt
- 1/2 cup semi sweet chocolate chips divided
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 12 muffin holes with liners or spray well with nonstick spray.
- Blend rolled oats in a Nutribullet or high power food processor until it’s a fine flour-like consistency.
- Then add bananas, coconut oil, brown coconut sugar, egg, flax egg, vanilla, lemon juice, almond milk and spinach to high powder blender and blend until a smooth creamy consistency is reached and there are no more traces of the spinach leaves.
- In a separate bowl, combine rolled oat flour, PBFit, baking soda, baking powder, and sea salt, stir to combine. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix until just combined.
- Stir in chocolate chips, reserving a few for the tops, then divide evenly among 12 lined muffins. Top with reserved chocolate chips and bake 17-18 minutes or until toothpick is inserted in the center and comes out clean.
- Allow to cool 5 minutes or so then remove from pan and enjoy! Store in airtight container for 5 days or freeze for up 2 months.
Notes
SUBSTITUTES:
Organic Brown Coconut Sugar: You can substitute with equal parts brown sugar if needed.
Coconut Oil: While I haven't tried it, I think you could easily swap this out for melted butter.
Ground Oats: If you don't have a way to finely grind the oats or can't find oat flour, I think wheat or white flour would work just fine.
