These healthier banana coffee cake muffins are the perfect snack or dessert! Made with wholesome ingredients, these muffins are gluten free, dairy free, and refined sugar free - but you'd never guess it! They are super moist, full of flavor, and you won't be able to stop at just one ;)
1cupmashed banana* about two medium bananas. Make sure they're SUPER ripe!
1/4cupmaple syrup
2tbspcoconut sugar or monk fruit
1tspvanilla extract
2eggs, room temp
1tspcinnamon
1tspbaking powder
1/2tspbaking soda

3/4tspcinnamon
1/2cupchopped pecans or other nut
1/4cuprolled oats
1tspcinnamon
Glaze
1/2cuppowdered monk fruit sweetener*I like lakanto
2-3tbspmilk 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!
