Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 1 large ripe banana
- 1/4 cup tahini (can sub peanut butter if nuts aren't an issue)
- 1/3 cup oatmeal baby cereal (or sub oat flour)
- 1/3 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp chia seeds
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Grease a mini muffin tin. (A regular muffin tin will work too).
- Place banana in a medium mixing bowl. Mash with a fork. Add tahini and stir until smooth.
- Add oatmeal baby cereal, oats, cinnamon and chia seeds. Stir with a fork until combined. This is a thick batter.
- Spoon batter evenly into mini muffin cups. I like to use a cookie scoop, which makes scooping super easy. If using a regular muffin tin, be sure to only use enough batter to form 12 muffins (they won't be full).
- Bake for 10 minutes. Allow muffins to cool and then serve!
Notes
Use certified gluten free oat cereal and oats to make these gluten free. You could also add an egg for extra protein if your child tolerates egg!
Store in an air-tight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate.
