These Banana Streusel muffins are made with rolled oats. All oats are gluten-free but make sure you buy certified gluten-free oats if you have celiacs disease as the oats can be processed in a facility that also processes gluten.

Gluten Free Banana Streusel Muffins
Print RecipeIngredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 small to medium bananas
- 1/4 cup 100% pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups gluten free rolled oats or oat flour
- 1/4 cup coconut sugar
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/2 cup pecans or walnuts
Streusel Topping
- 1/4 cup pecans or walnuts
- 3 tablespoons coconut sugar
- 2 tablespoons cassava flour
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Grease a 12 cup muffin pan with cooking spray of choice. Set aside.
- Place all of the muffin ingredients, except for the pecans, in the order listed, in a high powered blender. If you do not have a high powered blender you can use oat flour instead of rolled oats and mix the ingredients together with a hand mixer. Blend for 60 seconds or until a smooth batter forms. Stir in the pecans or walnuts.
- Fill the muffin cups 3/4ths full with the batter, dividing it evenly amongst the cups. In a small bowl combine all the streusel ingredients. Sprinkle over top of each batter filled muffin cup.
- Place the pan inside the preheated oven and bake for 16 minutes or until a toothpick is inserted and comes out clean. Let cool for 5 minutes before running a butterknife along the sides of the muffin cups, carefully remove each muffin and serve warm.
Substitute for cassava flour?
You could use tapioca starch instead if you’d like.
Made these today and they turned out AMAZING!!!!! There were perfectly sweet but not too sweet at all, so easy to make, and were delicious. I didn’t use cassava for the topping, but coconut flour instead. Did not want to open a bag of cassava for such a small amount. I did make the topping in my blender after I made the muffin batter. Just rinsed it quickly, pulsed the ingredients real quick and bam! Done. Thank you for another winner!
Can I use an alternative sugar for the strusel? I’m going to use stevia in actual muffins but am not sure i want to use it in the topping
I chose to make these into mini muffins instead (only cooked 10 min) and they turned out amazing! They were incredibly easy to make on a busy school morning, too. I just prepped the dry ingredients the night before. My entire family loved them! Thank you!!
My husband (who does NOT eat healthy & had a massive sweet tooth) LOVES these muffins! They are now a staple in our house! Soooo good with coffee, too. Unbelievable delicious – thank you, Brittany!
Clarification please? The recipe states to use 2 cups gluten free rolled oats or oat flour. 2 cups of oats blended would in no way equal 2 cups oat flour. What amount of oats would I use in my vitamix to make this recipe without needing to make the oat flour first?
Hi Jennifer,
Thanks so much for reaching out. It’s the same, blended or not blended the amount of rolled oats is the same.
These are delicious! I made them without the nuts and they are still so good.
Delicious! Made these today and they are a new favorite for sure! Mine did require an additional five minutes of baking.
Just made these! Wow…so delicious. I think next time I will skip the strudel topping and just sprinkle with pecans and maybe a few dairy free chocolate chops instead – or maybe just the nuts. I didn’t put the nuts in the muffins, just on the top. Really great though…I am so glad i found my way to this website. Between this and the Facebook group, it is absolutely changing my life in such a positive way. Thank you Brittnay, I am so grateful to you for sharing your journey to health, it has been so inspiring to me to believe that I can do this too!
