PREP TIME: 10 Minutes COOK TIME: 22 Minutes TOTAL TIME: 32 Minutes

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oat flour (certified gluten-free oats)

• 1/4 cup almond meal

• 1/2 cup coconut sugar, cane sugar or monkfruit sweetener

• 1/4 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour

• 3/4 cup vegan milk (soy, oat, ect.)

• 2 tsp culinary matcha powder (this one is the best price)

• 1 ripe banana

• 1 tbsp baking powder

• 2 tsp vanilla extract
  

Directions:

1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F. Grease the muffin pan, use a non-stick pan, or line with muffin liners.

2. Blend Wet Ingredients: In a blender, combine the ripe banana, unsweetened vanilla macadamia milk, matcha powder, vanilla extract, and sugar. Blend on high until the mixture is smooth and well combined.

3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together oat flour, almond meal, gluten-free all-purpose flour, and baking powder.

4. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the blended wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until well combined with no lumps.

5. Fill Muffin Pan: Grease the muffin pan or use liners. Spoon the batter into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 of the way to the top. This recipe makes approximately 9 muffins.

6. Bake: Bake for about 22 minutes or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking!

7. Cool and Serve: Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 30 minutes before taking them out. This helps them set and become easy to handle.

8. Top it Off: Garnish with candied nuts, or topping of choice!

9. Enjoy and Store: Once cooled, serve them up and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain their freshness.
