Tips and tricks

The following tips should help you achieve blender muffin perfection:

For the best texture you need accuracy with the flours. Which is why I include precise weights. If you don’t have a scale, then you can purchase this fairly inexpensive one.
If you prefer to measure, then measure the flours by scooping your measuring cup into the flour versus spooning it into it. This is how I measured when getting my weights.
Make sure to prepare your muffin tin, I use a little coconut oil spray and rub it around.
If you want a more tender muffin, then use ¾ cup banana. If you want it chewier then add 1 cup.
Make sure your banana is nice and ripe, the more ripe the sweeter it will be.
You can make your own oat flour by adding oats to a blender or food processor and blend them on high speed until they turn into powder.
Store the muffins in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days.

Oat flour is a gluten free alternative to other types of flour. It adds more flavor to baked goods and can make them chewier with the perfect crumb!
