Banana Oat Muffins

Submitted by MathMom.calif

"Adapted from Recipe# 156338. Went to the pantry and saw that I was out of whole wheat flour. Then I felt creative and wanted to add other things... This was the result. I still was planning to play with the receipt a bit more and add whole wheat flour or something, but the family liked these so much and ate them so fast, I changed my mind. Instead of rice flour I would think another flour would work fine, such as all-purpose, whole wheat, whole wheat pastry or other. I made these small and got 18 muffins, but I like them small. Then I can have two. ;)"

Very nice flavor and lots of texture variation with the nuts, oats and flax seed meal. Turned out very moist with very little fat. I used agave nectar, which has a low glycemic level, which is good for us diabetics. Thanks for posting a keeper!

Delicious! I did make several changes though: Instead of banana, I used a 128ml jar of prune & oat baby food and, to compensate for the lower moisture, I added about 1/3 cup of buttermilk. I also omitted the cinnamon and used (a lot of) fresh ginger and used chunks of frozen peach instead of nuts. Thank you for sharing this recipe :)

Very moist, so much so that it took almost a 1/2 hour to bake b4 they were firm enough. Might try 375 next time. I used w.w. pastry flour and brown rice flour and honey. Even the asphalt workers liked them (they just finished paving our driveway). :)

These were good, I used whole wheat flour for the brown rice flour, increased the vanilla to 2 teaspoons and cinnamon to 1 teaspoon, and used honey, we enjoyed these muffins, thanks for sharing MathMom!...Kitten:)
