Introduction

I was fiddling in my kitchen trying to come up with a tasty dessert that was full or flavor but did not use any eggs or oils - came up with this little gem!

*NOTE*
There was no way to add oat flour into the ingredient list so I used oatmeal flakes.

Ingredients

    1 1/2 cups oat flour
    1 cup whole wheat flour
    1/2 cup (unpacked) dark brown sugar
    1 teaspoon baking soda
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    1/4 teaspoon ground clove
    1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
    (or 2 teaspoons apple pie or pumpkin pie spice - depending what you have on hand)
    1 large avocado (ripe)
    1 large banana (very ripe)
    1 cup plain soymilk
    1 teaspoon almond (or vanilla) extract - I prefer almond for this recipe

    Add-ins:
    1/3 cup chopped pistachios
    1/4 cup sunflower seeds
    *(1/2 to 3/4 cups of any chopped nut will do)
    1/2 cup dried cranberries
    *(dried blueberries or cherries work equally well)
    1/2 cup dark chocolate morsels

Directions

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Lightly grease either 2-12 count muffin tins or 1-24 count muffin tin (I like coconut spray oil), or use baking cups if you prefer.
3. Sift together the oat flour, whole wheat flour, baking soda, salt and spices in a large mixing bowl.
4. Mix the chopped fruit and nuts into the dry ingredients, until well blended.
5. In a separate bowl, wisk together the soymilk and the brown sugar.
6. Mash the avocado and banana into the soymilk mixture until relatively smooth, some small chunks are preferred. *Do this step as close to last as possible to minimize browning.*
7. Combine the dry ingredients into the wet, and fill muffin tins 3/4 of the way up.
8. Bake at 350 degrees F for 15-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
