    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.

    Common Questions

    What is the healthiest muffin to eat?

    Muffins can be deceiving. Some are essentially cupcakes minus the frosting! Healthy muffins like these are made with wholesome food ingredients and limit sugars and oil.

    How do you store blender muffins?

    Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3-4 days. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.

    Is oat flour good for baking?

    It is! You can use this gluten free flour in pretty much any recipe! It's a great healthier alternative to other flours without sacrificing texture.

    What does oat flour do in baking?

    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!

      These are great muffins! So easy to make! I actually got 17 muffins instead of the 8 indicated in the recipe. 🤷🏻‍♀️

        Hi Emma! So happy you liked them! I am guessing you used a mini muffin tin instead of a regular sized one. The regular sized one will give you less larger ones. But either works!

      I had several nearly-black bananas to use up or put in the freezer for later. I made this recipe tonight. I tasted the batter in the blender and it was so good, I got excited and started pouring the batter into muffin cups, forgetting to add in nuts. Didn't matter. Still fantastic. I made another batch since I had several bananas to use. Seriously good.

      Is each muffin 430 calories?

        Hi Carol! The nutrition info is for each serving, which is 1 muffin. The entire recipe makes 8. Please be advised, as I say in my disclaimer, that my recipe card application automatically calculates the numbers for me. In order to get the best accuracy you'd need to calculate the info yourself using the exact brands of ingredients you use.
