My kids go through phases of eating a banana a day and acting like bananas don’t exist, so fairly often I find myself with a lot of super ripe bananas and need to come up with something to do with them. I have another recipe for chocolate banana bread, which is delicious, but I had a huge bag of oats and wanted to see if I could use those to make something new.

These banana bread oat muffins were everything I wanted them to be, and I even made a batch with chocolate chips because you can never go wrong by adding chocolate. I kept half for my kids and took the rest to a new family at church. You could also make this into actual banana bread, but the baking time will need to be at least doubled!

Banana Bread Oat Muffins Recipe

I buy enormous bags of oats from Costco because we use them for all kinds of things.

To make it into flour, I just fill up my food processor to the max capacity and turn it on until it’s as fine as possible.

This is about 5 cups of oat flour.

I like to process a bunch at a time, so I kept making more oat flour until this container was all the way full. You can use oat flour in any recipe that calls for all purpose flour and it truly doesn’t make a huge difference!
