Oat Flour Banana Muffins


I've tried so many gluten free recipes over the past year.  I'm sorry to say that most of them are not good. And some are worse, horrible!  So when I made these muffins and they actually came out I knew I had to share the recipe with you.  

For this recipe you will need to grind some rolled oats or buy a good quality oat flour.   There is very little sugar in this recipe which is another reason why I like it so much. And with the addition of nuts they are especially satisfying. 

Dry Ingredients:
2 cups old fashioned oats, gluten free
2 tablespoons ground flax seeds 
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda 
1/4 cup chopped walnuts

Wet Ingredients:

4 very ripe bananas 
1/2 cup unsweetened apple juice 
1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce 
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 tsp apple cider vinegar 

Grind the oats into flour using a Vitamix or other grain grinder. 

Put all dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.  

Puree the wet ingredients in a food processor just until smooth. Do not over blend.

Pour wet over dry ingredients and mix with a spatula. Do not over mix. 

Fill muffin pan with papers, or use cooking spray, and fill 2/3 full. Bake at 350 degrees for 22 minutes. A toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean when done.

Makes 12 muffins.  These freeze well. 

Options: you could also add some fruit to this recipe.  Perhaps some fresh blueberries, or some finely grated green apple.  You will need to increase the baking time however.
