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!
