Banana Chia Chocolate Chip Muffins

We really wanted a healthy muffin that was also delicious so we adapted these muffins from a recipe we found online. They add a yummy burst of power to your morning! Makes about 18 muffins.

Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats
1 TBSP sugar
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 generous TBSP chia seeds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla
3 very ripe bananas
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips (raisins, blueberries, or dried cranberries)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Generously grease a muffin tin or use paper liners. 
2. Pour the oats into a blender and puree until smooth. Pour the oat flour into a medium sized bowl. Add the sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and chia seeds.
3. In the same blender pour in the vegetable oil, eggs, vanilla, and bananas. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour the liquid mixture from the blender into the dry ingredients in the bowl and gently stir until just combined. Then, gently stir in the chocolate chips.
5. Fill each muffin cup 3/4 full and bake for 15 minutes or until a skewer inserted into the muffins comes out clean. 
6. Cool muffins on a wire rack. Recipe makes about 18 muffins.
