Banana Oat Muffins with a Chocolate Drizzle
These gluten free banana oat muffins are moist, fluffy and topped with a decadent chocolate drizzle. They make the perfect breakfast or dessert to make when you have overripe bananas on the counter!
Banana bread… but make it a muffin
Anyone else working with like, a ton of overripe bananas on their counter? Because, same.
It feels like lately, in our current COVID-19 reality, I’m always buying bananas (along with all the other non-perishables).
Then, I go home and wash my bananas with vinegar and water (because, germs). After that, they sit on the counter for anywhere from 1-2 weeks while I eat all the frozen pizzas and chips that have the potential to last for months in my freezer/pantry.
Stupid, I know.
I wish I was the person I thought I was when I bought all the kale and bananas. But in reality, this quarantine is making me crave pizza, sweets and chips.
Anyway, if I’m not going to eat all the bananas, I might as well make them into something that can actually compete with all the junk. Insert these banana oat muffins with a chocolate drizzle.
They have all the perks of a classic banana bread, except they’re muffins – which means they’re better than banana bread.
One bowl and 30 minutes
So remember how I mentioned these come together in one bowl? It’s true.
These banana oat muffins aren’t like so many other baking recipes where the dry and wet ingredients start out in separate bowls. Here, we’re throwing it all together in less than 30 minutes and the result is something pretty magical.
Fluffy, moist (yes I said it), gluten free muffins that make an awesome breakfast, snack or dessert.
Today, we’re using a fancy (microwaved) chocolate drizzle but if you’re not feeling that extra step, you can totally just mix your chocolate chips into the batter before baking.
More fool proof gluten free sweets
Gluten free baking can feel overwhelming at first. Here are some of my favorite recipes like these banana oat muffins that are basically impossible to mess up:
- classic chocolate chip banana bread
- chocolate chip pistachio cookies
- vegan blueberry muffins
- oatmeal cookies with a chocolate glaze
- salted coconut flan
Happy baking,
