Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners and set aside.
- For the cupcakes: Place the bananas on a rimmed baking sheet and pierce each banana 3 times with the tip of a knife. Roast, unpeeled, until the skin is completely black and the flesh is soft, about 25 minutes. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Peel the bananas and place them in a medium bowl. Discard the peels. Mash the bananas with the back of a fork until smooth. Using the fork, stir in the egg, coconut oil, sugar, peanut butter, vanilla and salt. Mix well until smooth and fully incorporated. Add the almond flour, oat flour, baking soda and almond milk. Continue to stir with the fork until the mixture is smooth and all of the ingredients are fully incorporated.
