Notes
- Make sure to use ripe bananas for the best flavor and texture. Overripe bananas are ideal as they are sweeter and easier to mash.
- Use natural, unsweetened peanut butter for the best taste and health benefits.
- You can substitute honey with any other liquid sweetener of your choice, such as maple syrup or agave nectar.
- If you don't have oat flour, you can make your own by grinding oats in a blender or food processor until fine.
- If you're not following a gluten-free diet, you can use all-purpose flour instead of oat flour.
- For a nut-free version, use sunflower seed butter or soy nut butter instead of peanut butter.
- To add some extra flavor, you can mix in some chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit into the batter.
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
