Can you do bananas instead of applesauce?
Yes!
I don’t have oat flour – can it be substituted by something else?
Yes, any flour you have should work!
These are delicious! I used almond flour instead of oat flour (what I had on hand) and they came out amazing. Loved the lemon poppyseed addition.
That’s great!!
Kelsey! These muffins are a huge hit with my non-muffin eating kiddo! Thank you! Tried the pb&chocolate chip, and apple cinnamon ones. Excited to try the lemon ones next. Thanks again!!
We love a huge hit with kiddos!!
This recipe is amazing! I just did some chocolate chips on top and the family ate them in a day! Making a double batch this time around.
Yeah!
Absolutely delicious and super healthy! I made the apple cinnamon version…. and also added the peanut butter because I had to. Great for a quick grab breakfast on the way out the door!
Peanut Butter is a great addition!
This was so easy to make and saved me when I had to make a ‘nutritious snack’ for daycare. I need to make another batch because there weren’t enough for me!
Soo good!!!
Excellent and healthy with low amount of sugar.
I didn’t have oat flour so used regular unbleached flour and I used regular milk.
Will make these again!
Excited to try these! I don’t have flax meal – can I omit it or put something else in place of it?
You can just omit it!
Can these be frozen? Also these are amazing.
Yes! Let them cool then pop them on a baking sheet to freeze them and store them in a ziplock bag in the freezer!
