Vegan Gluten-Free Healthy Banana Oat Muffins

So, we all love muffins, right? Typically sweet, cupcake-like breakfast treats that are sometimes filled with chocolate chips. What's not to love? They are a great and easy weekend breakfast and perfect for those busy holiday mornings. But sometimes it's nice to have a healthy option for a muffin. Here's where these healthy banana oat muffins come in.

I started by using mostly oat flour, which offers the nutritional benefits of whole grains. Just be sure to verify that the oat flour you are using is gluten-free. I used peanut butter instead of butter to give a boost of healthy fats. Mashed banana provides most of the sweetness with help from a little bit of honey and brown sugar. Applesauce helps to keep these muffins moist for days. The addition of walnuts and and raisins give another additional boost of healthy fats, iron, and potassium. All of this goodness is combined with cinnamon and nutmeg making these the perfect healthy choice. Try them for breakfast and see for yourself!
