Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 17

cooking spray
3 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon flaxseed meal
1 cup whole wheat flour
1 cup finely ground steel-cut oats
½ cup brown sugar
½ teaspoon salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
¼ cup honey
¼ cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1 egg, lightly whisked
3 tablespoons applesauce
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 ½ teaspoons vanilla extract
½ cup chocolate chips
½ cup ground walnuts
1 tablespoon cinnamon sugar, or as needed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a rack in the lower third of the oven. Spray a mini muffin pan with cooking spray.
  • Combine water and flaxseed meal in a bowl and let sit 5 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, whisk flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt together in a bowl and set aside.
  • Mix thickened flaxseed, bananas, honey, yogurt, egg, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract together in a bowl. Stir flour mixture into the banana mixture. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts.
  • Use an ice cream scooper to scoop batter into the prepared muffin tin. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean but without overbaking, about 18 minutes.
  • Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Freeze if desired.
