Is there anything that's cuter than mini muffins?! I can think of one thing... gut-healthy mini muffins. My Gut-Healthy Mini Banana Chocolate Chip Buckwheat Muffins are my newest (and cutest!) recipe that's made especially for kids, but with busy parents in-mind. As a busy parent, I understand how difficult it can be to make sure that our kids are eating healthy, which is why I made this quick and easy recipe with bushy parents in-mind. Plus, this recipe is not only loaded with gut-healthy ingredients, but also happens to be gluten-free and vegan-friendly as well!

Equipment

Ingredients

  • ¾ Cup Rolled Oats or 1/2 cup of oat flour
  • 1 Cup Almond Flour
  • ¾ Cup Buckwheat Flour
  • 2 Tablespoons Arrowroot Starch or Tapioca Starch or Corn Starch
  • 1 Tablespoon Ground Flaxseed Meal
  • Cup Coconut Sugar
  • 1 Teaspoon Baking Powder
  • 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Sea Salt
  • 2 Bananas large and ripe
  • Cup Avocado Oil
  • 1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
  • ¼ Cup Almond Milk
  • 2 Teaspoons Vanilla Extract
  • 1 Cup Dark Chocolate Chips

Instructions

  • Start by preheating your oven to 375 F.
  • Next, prepare your oat flour by making your own (see notes). If you are using pre-made oat flour, you can skip this step.
  • Add all of your dry ingredients to a bowl and mix to combine.
  • In another large bowl, add the bananas and mash them well. Then, add in the avocado oil, apple cider vinegar, almond milk, and vanilla, and mix until fully it's fully incorproated.
  • Then, add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix until just combined. Be careful not to over mix, as your muffins will get tough. Then, fold in the chocolate chips.
  • Pour the batter into the muffin cavities, being sure to divide the batter evenly - you should end up with 20-24 muffins.
  • Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  • Remove them from the oven and let cool. Use a knife to scrape around the side of each muffin tin to remove them, if necessary.
  • Once cool, serve and enjoy! You can also store these muffins in an airtight container for up to one week.
