Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup light coconut milk carton, not canned
  • 1 3/4 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 3 very ripe bananas
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips
  • 4 tablespoons coconut oil melted and cooled

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Combine the coconut milk and oats in a measuring cup or bowl and let the oats soak for 5 minutes.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  • Use a food processor, immersion blender, or fork to mash the bananas until smooth.
  • Beat in the egg and sugar together and add to the bananas. You can beat all of these together using the food processor to eliminate extra dishes.
  • Stir in the oat-milk mixture, vanilla, cinnamon, and melted coconut oil into the wet ingredients.
  • Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredient and gently fold together. It's alright if there are a few streak of flour in the batter, but be careful not to overmix. Fold in chocolate chips.
  • Grease the muffin tins with coconut oil or line with muffin liners. Equally divide the batter between 12 muffin tins.
  • Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of a muffin emerges clean. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes and then move to a cooling rack.
