How to make Blender banana coffee cake muffins

Ingredients:

• Bananas
• Almond flour: There is no 1:1 substitute for almond flour in this recipe, besides cashew flour.
• Oat flour: If you cannot have oats, you can substitute a 1:1 gluten free flour. See notes in recipe card!
• Maple syrup: You can also use honey or agave. Any sticky sweetener will work.
• Coconut sugar: Golden monk fruit is a great sugar free option. You can also use brown sugar if you’re not looking for these to be refined sugar free!
• Rolled Oats
• Vanilla extract, cinnamon, sea salt
• Chopped nuts: I like pecans or walnuts, but any nut works!
• Powdered monk fruit sweetener: I like Lakanto as it tastes just like powdered sugar. If you’re not refined sugar free, you can use regular powdered sugar!

Instructions

• Make the muffins: Add all the ingredients to a blender and blend until smooth.
• Make the crumble: Mix together all of the crumble ingredients in a small bowl.
• Assemble the muffins: Divide the batter amongst a greased or lined cupcake pan. Then divide the crumble on top, slightly pressing it into the top of the batter.
• Bake! Mix together the drizzle ingredients and drizzle the muffins once cooled.

How to store leftover banana coffee cake muffins

faq’s

• How to make vegan banana muffins: I haven’t tested it, but you can try substituting flax eggs for eggs. Mix together 1 tablespoon ground flax seed with 2 1/2 tablespoons of water. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, then use as an egg. This makes one egg!
• How to make moist banana muffins: Be sure not to over-bake! Check the muffins at the lesser amount of time, as all ovens can vary!
• Banana bread with two bananas: This banana bread only requires two bananas but you want to make sure they are super brown and spotty as this will create the sweetest bread!
• Can you make the streusel topping without oats? Yes! You can try using more nuts in place of the oats.

Ingredients

  

Muffins

• 1 cup almond flour
• 1/2 cup + 2 tbsp oat flour *see notes for subs
• 1 cup mashed banana * about two medium bananas. Make sure they're SUPER ripe!
• 1/4 cup maple syrup
• 2 tbsp coconut sugar or monk fruit
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 2 eggs, room temp
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• pinch sea salt

Crumble

• 1/4 cup coconut oil melted
• 1/3 cup coconut sugar
• 3/4 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 cup chopped pecans or other nut
• 1/4 cup rolled oats
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Glaze

• 1/2 cup powdered monk fruit sweetener *I like lakanto
• 2-3 tbsp milk of choice, as needed

Instructions

 

• Preheat oven to 350F.
• Add all of the muffin ingredients to a blender or food processor, blending until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine all of the crumble ingredients.
• Grease or line a muffin tin with liners. Divide the batter amongst the tin, making 10 muffins. Then divide the crumble amongst the tops of each, slightly pressing it down gently so it sticks.
• Bake for 22-25 minutes, until they are firm to touch and golden.
• Remove from the oven and let cool completely.
• To make the glaze, mix everything in a small bowl, adding a tbsp of liquid at a time until you reach a glaze consistency. Once the muffins have cooled, drizzle each one and enjoy!

Notes

Store these in an air-tight container on the counter for 3 days, in the fridge for up to 10 days, and in the freezer for a few weeks!

*I highly recommend using the brand One Degree Organics Sprouted Oats. These are certified gluten free and go through rigorous testing. However, you can sub 1/2 cup 1:1 gluten free flour. They come out pretty close in texture!
