Ingredients

    1 ¼ cup rolled oats
    1 ½ cup oat flour (refer to #3)
    1/2 cup plain, low fat greek yogurt
    1/2 cup low fat milk or soy milk
    1/2 cup turbinado sugar
    1/3 cup cocnut oil
    2 large, really ripe bananas mashed
    2 teaspoons baking powder
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1 lightly beaten egg (sub flax seed for a true veg option)
    1/4 cup pecans
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon cinnamon

Tips

You can use a food processor or magic bullet type blender to grind up the oats. If using a magic bullet, fill the large cup to the top and that equals two cups of oats.


Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400°
2. Mix rolled oats, yogurt and milk together in a bowl. Let stand for 10 minutes.
3. It will require about 2 cups of rolled oats to make the 1 1/2 cups or oat flour you need. Just pulse the 2 cups rolled oats in the food processor until they turn to a powdery consistency (like dry grits).
4. Now, combine oat flour, salt, sugar, spices, baking powder and baking soda in a separate bowl.
5. Add mashed banana, egg and oil to the rolled oat mixture and mix well.
6. Now add dry oat flour mixture to rolled oat mixture and mix together well. Add in nuts and/or raisins if desired and incorporate evenly.
7. Fill greased or lined muffin cups 2/3 of the way.
8. Bake for approximately 16-20 minutes.
