Ingredients
  

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup melted butter 75 g
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy) 60 ml
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup rolled oats 90 g
  • 1 cup plain flour 125 g
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed 14 g
  • 2 tbsp brewer's yeast 14 g
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste) 100 g
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional) 90 g

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven and line tray:

    Heat oven to 350°F (180°C, 160°C fan forced). Place paper liners in a muffin tray.
  • Mash bananas and mix wet ingredients:

    In a large bowl, mash the bananas. Then incorporate eggs, melted butter, milk, and vanilla extract; stir thoroughly.
  • Combine dry ingredients:

    In a separate bowl, mix together rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, ground flaxseed, and brewer's yeast.
  • Mix wet and dry ingredients:

    Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir only until combined. Avoid overmixing.
  • Let batter rest:

    Allow the batter to sit for 5 to 10 minutes so the oats can hydrate.
  • Fold in chocolate chips:

    If using chocolate chips, gently fold them in.
  • Fill muffin cups:

    Distribute the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  • Bake until done:

    Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Cool before serving:

    Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
