1large/extra large overripe banana, peeled and sliced (see note)
1/2tspbaking powder
1/4cupmini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease 8 cavities of a mini muffin pan with cooking oil spray.
Add quick oats to a food processor and grind until it resembles flour. The finer you can grind down the oats, the more tender your muffins will be.
Add in banana slices and baking powder. Process until mixture becomes a thick liquid batter. Stir in chocolate chips.
Scoop batter into the muffin molds, filling them to the top. Bake for 13-14 minutes. Muffin tops should bounce back when you touch them and a toothpick inserted should not have any uncooked batter stuck to it.
Allow muffins to cool in muffin pan. Use a small spatula to loosen the edges of the muffins to remove.
Notes
Also be sure to use quick oats and not old-fashioned, steel-cut or instant oats.
Use overripe bananas with peels that are more brown than yellow. If you use just ripe bananas, the batter will be drier and the muffins won't be as light.
