Equipment

Oven
Muffin Tin
Large Mixing Bowl
Medium Mixing Bowl

Ingredients

1¾ cups Whole Wheat Flour
⅓ cup Rolled Oats
1 tsp Baking Soda
½ tsp Salt
½ tsp Cinnamon
⅓ cup Coconut Oil Melted
½ cup Maple Syrup
2 Eggs
1 cup Bananas Mashed, ripe, (about 3 bananas)
¼ cup Milk Low-fat
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
½ cup Walnuts Chopped
1 tsp Sugar For sprinkling on top
Cooking Spray

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 325°F and grease a muffin tin or line with muffins cups.
In a medium bowl, combine the dry ingredients: whole wheat flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
In a large bowl, beat the coconut oil and maple syrup together with a whisk. Add the eggs and beat well. Mix in the mashed bananas, milk, and vanilla extract.
Stir the dry ingredients with the wet ingredients using a wooden spoon, just until combined. Fold in the nuts.
Divide the batter evenly between the muffin cups, filling each cup about two-thirds full. Sprinkle the tops of the muffins with oats and sugar, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean. Allow them to cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer from the tin to a wire rack for 10 minutes.

Notes

Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.

Substitute the regular milk with any plant-based milk or even water.
Substitute the egg for a flax egg to make it vegan.
Substitute the maple syrup with any other liquid sweetener like honey but it will taste different.
Substitute the coconut oil with another neutral oil or applesauce to keep it lower in fat.
To make this gluten-free, use an all-purpose gluten-free flour mix. Do not substitute only almond flour or only coconut flour.
