- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups old-fashioned gluten-free oats
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Spray muffin tin (or two) with cooking spray or line with silicone muffin liners.
- In a small bowl, add flax and water. Stir and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mash bananas with a fork. Add grated zucchini, almond milk, vanilla extract, almond butter, maple syrup, and flax mixture. Stir until combine.
- Add oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and add-in's of your choice (see below). Stir until combined.

- Bake for 23-28 minutes (or until fork comes out clean). Cool on a wire rack.
- Once cooled, serve or store in an air-tight container in refrigerator or freezer.
Tips:
- Don't squeeze water out of zucchini.
- You will have extra batter if you only use one muffin tin - make an oatmeal bake!
- Want less sugar? leave out the maple syrup & add extra ripe bananas for natural sweetness!
