Ingredients

• 2/3 cup rolled oats
• 1/4 cup plain, non-dairy yogurt
• 1/4 cup non-dairy milk
• 3/4 cup gluten free or whole grain pastry flour
• 1/4 cup light brown sugar
• 1/8 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 large, ripened & mashed banana
• 2-1/2 tbsp canola oil
• 1 beaten egg
• 5 tablespoon unsweetened carob chips (or chocolate chips)
• Cooking Spray 

Directions

Preheat your oven to 410F and spray a muffin tin. Mix the rolled oats and yogurt together; add the milk and let the mixture sit for 10-12 minutes. In a medium bowl, gently mix the flour, sugar, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking soda and baking powder until evenly combined. In a large bowl, mash the bananas then whisk in the egg and oil. Using a spatula, mix in the oat-yogurt-milk mixture until combined. Gradually add the flour mixture until combined – do not overmix!! If desired, add the carob chips (you could also use chocolate chips, nuts or dried fruit!). Fill the muffin cup about 2/3 of the way full and bake for about 14-16 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean!
