Gluten Free Banana Streusel Muffins

Servings: 12

Ingredients

  • 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.

Notes

Recipe Notes:
The streusel topping is completely optional, it elevates the recipe, but they're great without it too!
