Why I ❤️ it

These muffins contain no flour (great for some celiacs - see notes), no added sugar (for those abstaining from processed sugar), no milk (I used almond "milk"), no eggs (kids can try the raw batter) and it's loaded with fruits and nuts. And of course, oats, which doctors keep telling us are good for us.

Variations

I buy jars of assorted nuts. Feel free to add what you like best. Same with the dry fruits.

You can also add half a strawberry on top before baking.

Top tips

The bananas have to be very ripe, with almost completely blackened peel. If your bananas are sufficiently ripe, leave wrapped in a newspaper on your counter for a day or two. The newspaper will protect it from fireflies and other critters.

Not all celiacs can consume oats, check with your doctor. Some brands may be contaminated with wheat, make sure the one you use isn't.

When we make these, I always pack a few in zippy bags and keep in the fridge to add them to my daughter's lunchbox. They never come back uneaten.

Serving suggestions

A glass of juice, milk or milk substitute is just what you need with these.

      You need a flexible silicone mold to get them like that. Otherwise, yes, they don't look as pretty, although I am fine with it, it is still healthy and taste great. 🙂

    What other fruits can replace the banana? (ex. Raspberry and orange)

      I am at loss here. I tested the recipe with bananas, changing it to something else will affect both texture and sugar levels. If you think of something and try it, let me know.

      They may look like muffins outside, but they are actually pretty mush inside. That's what I liked about them.

    They look lovely in those moulds - makes them a little more special. Your daughter is lucky to have a stomach of steel and I think it is never too young to start them cooking. Dario used to make rock cakes at three years old - and they were literally rocks. He refused to be guided by me or a recipe.
