Ingredients

  • 1 cup old fashioned oats i used, gluten free, old fashioned oats
  • ½ cup almonds raw or roasted
  • 3 bananas overripe  
  • 7 dates pitted and soaked in hot water
    • 1 Tbsp milk i used, almond milk, but any milk you prefer will work
    • ¼ cup cocoa powder 
    • pinch salt

    Step by Step Instructions

    Step 1

    Preheat the oven to 325 and prepare a mini muffin pan by greasing it with cooking spray. If you don’t have a mini muffin pan you can always make these in a 8×8 pan.

    Step 2

    First, if your dates are not soft or fresh and still contain their seeds, slice in half lengthwise, and soak in hot water for 5 minutes.

    Step 3

    Next add your oats and almonds to your high powered blender. Pulse until a meal forms and resembles a grainy flour mixture.

    Step 4

    Toss in your three ripe bananas, dates, milk, cocoa powder, and salt. Blend on high for 2 minutes until mixture is smooth and reaches a batter consistency. Scrape down sides of the blender halfway through.

    Step 5

    Pour batter into each cup filling them until full. These won’t rise too much so it’s fine to fill them until the top line.

    Step 6

    Bake for 12 minutes until muffins are firm. If you’re using an 8×8 baking dish, bake for 25 minutes. Cool muffins on a cooling rack and enjoy! Store these in an airtight container for 1 week, or 2 weeks in the fridge.

    Step 7

    These also freeze well! If you would like to freeze, place muffins in a freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Simply defrost the muffins the day before in the fridge and enjoy the next day.
