Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 15 muffin cups or line with aluminum foil liners.

Step 2

Mix oats, bananas, peanut butter, eggs, flax meal, almond flour, yogurt, agave nectar, vanilla extract, stevia, cinnamon, maple-flavored extract, baking powder, and baking soda in a stand mixer or food processor until batter is smooth. Fill each muffin cup 3/4-full with batter.
