Healthy Banana & Choc Muffins

Healthy Banana & Choc Muffins

Difficulty : Super easy
Preparation time: 5m
Cooking time: 20m

These banana and choc chip muffins are gluten free, are naturally sweetened with honey and banana, and are made with oats which will give you lots of good slow-release energy. The dark chocolate chips do add a small amount of sugar, but it's very minimal and you can leave them out if you wish or swap for something else like nuts. 

Even with the  chocolate chips, these oatie banana muffins are about 200 calories which is less than half the amount of the 400+ calorie muffins you would pick up in a shop! 

And the best part is they're so quick and easy to make as you just chuck all the ingredients into a blender, pop into the oven and Voila! This makes 7 muffins but you can easily double the recipe to make 14. 

If you make these guys I'd love to see so please tag me in any pics @sophie_morris on Instagram xx

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 200 degrees C  and line a muffin tin with paper muffin cases. 
  2. Place the oats into a nutribullet or food processor and blend for a few seconds to turn into oat flour. 
  3. Add all remaining ingredients except the chocolate chips to the blender or food processor and blend until you have a smooth batter, scraping down the sides a few times as needed.
  4. Transfer the batter to a bowl and stir in the chocolate chips, reserving a few to sprinkle on the top!
  5. Divide the batter among the muffin cases, filling each about three-quarters of the way to the top.
  6. Sprinkle with the reserved chocolate chips and bake for 15 - 20 minutes, until the tops of the muffins are set.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 10 minutes before removing from the tin. It will be easier to peel off the cases once the muffins have cooled completely.
