How do you make Oat Flour?
You can buy pre-made oat flour or you make it. I tend to make it since I always have lots of oats on hand. Use rolled or quick oats place them in a food processor and process until a the oats are turned into a fine flour like texture. You won’t end up with a super fine texture like all-purpose flour t but it will look and feel like a flour, with some chunks of oats in it. This creates the oat flour to make the banana muffins recipe.
How do you make oat flour banana muffins?
Like most recipes start by preheat your oven to 425F/218C and grease a standard muffin tin.
In a large bowl add melted butter and granulated sugar. Mix until they are fully combined. Then add eggs and vanilla.
Mix in oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Then gently fold in the Greek yogurt and mashed bananas.
When the batter is just combined pour into muffin pan, filling each cavity almost full. You can sprinkle a little brown sugar on top but it does weigh down the muffin, creating a little sinking, so it's up to you- flavor or pretty! 😉
Bake the muffins for 5 minutes and then lower temperature to350F/180C and rotate the pan, baking for another 8-12 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for any wet batter. These are best eaten the same day.
Can you make oat flour banana muffins ahead of time?
Sure I like to freeze the muffins, to ensure they don't stick together I place them in a Ziploc bag in a single layer and lay it flat on the shelf. Once the muffins are frozen you can shift the position in the freezer. But if they do not freeze flat and separate they will freeze together making it harder to take one out at a time.

Been making these weekly, very good! Tried with no sugar as well, sweet enough for our taste with just sweetness from the bananas.

Christine A Dunning says
Awesome banana muffin! I wanted a drier banana muffin, often they are just to moist for our taste. This recipe worked great by putting the batter in a muffin top pan which made them thinner and drier. I baked them at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and 350 degrees for another 5 minutes. Perfect!

Emily says
I regret trying this recipe after making a beautiful batch of oat flour banana muffins last week using a different recipe. These muffins are flat and taste terrible. What a waste of ingredients!

Elizabeth Waterson says
Hi Emily, I am so sorry you did not enjoy the muffins.
IM says
Loved turning this recipe into muffins! This is very similar (apart from the baking instructions) to your original oat flour banana bread loaf recipe. This recipe has consistently turned out amazing compared to the dozens of other recipes I’ve tried off the internet for of banana bread. Something about the yoghurt adding all that moisture!!!
★★★★★
Elizabeth Waterson says
Yay so glad you liked the muffins! They are such a staple in my house!! The yogurt really does make all the difference! Take care. XX Liz
