Description
This gluten-free healthy muffins recipe uses no flour, no sugar, and no oil but still produces moist, delicious muffins. Customize to make your favorite muffin flavors.

SCALE 1x2x3x
Ingredients
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats (1 1/2 cups ground, 1 cup whole)
2 tbsp old-fashioned oats for muffin tops
2–3 large overripe bananas (1 cup mashed or or 1 cup applesauce)
2 large eggs, (lightly beaten, may use flax eggs)
1/3 cup honey
3/4 cup milk (or non-dairy milk)
2 tsp real vanilla
2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
Instructions
Preheat oven to 325°F to toast oats.
Place oats on a baking sheet and toast until lightly browned, stirring once (about 4 to 6 minutes). Let cool to room temperature. (If you are in a hurry you can skip the toasting step, however the toasting adds flavor!)
Divide oats into portions of 1.5 cups, 1 cup and 2 Tbsp
Turn oven heat up to 350°F degrees to bake the muffins.
Place 1.5 cups of oats in a food processor and blend/pulse until they reach a rough, flour like consistency.
Mash bananas well, they should have no lumps. I use my mixer to mash them before adding the other wet ingredients.
Add eggs, honey, milk and vanilla. Mix to combine.
Add dry ingredients (including the ground oats and 1 cup whole oats) to wet ingredients and mix until just incorporated. Allow these to sit for 10 minutes to soak the oats.
Optional: Fold in 1/2 cup fruit, raisins, or nuts.
Scoop into muffin tin, well greased or lined with parchment muffin wrappers (makes 14 muffins).
Sprinkle muffin tops with the 2 Tbsp of reserved oats, press lightly to make sure they stick.
Bake at 350°F for 20 -23 minutes. (Tops should spring back when lightly pressed and/or a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin should come out clean.)
Notes
Healthy Zucchini Muffins contain no oil, no refined sugar, and no flour. The oil and sugar are replaced with ripe bananas and the flour is replaced with whole grain oats. Zucchini and spices give the muffins classic zucchini bread flavor. Enjoy a fall favorites with no gui

OP, have you made this recipe? Pics? How did they taste?

I have made them. I put mine in the large muffin tin so I only got 6 muffins. I also used unsweetened applesauce! I’m hooked!

RunsWithDogsWI

Lovely looking muf, but they do have sugar in them.

dmmtexas56

So you can use banana or applesauce in this recipe?

stephtra49

@dmmtexas56 Yes! I’ve made them twice & both times with unsweetened apple sauce. I’m going to try them next time without the honey, just to see how much it changes the taste & use the banana 😬 I also forgot to put the milk last time & the are still pretty good! @psychod787 true but not refined sugar!
I’m still happy with them! I’m getting my oatmeal in daily so I will keep making them!

If it makes you happy, that's awesome! Though ,no difference on how the body uses honey vs cane sugar.
