Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup *ground flax seed
  • 1/2 cup quick oats
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup canola oil, or melted butter
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup **chocolate chips, or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375 F (190 C). Grease or line a standard 12 cup muffin tin.
  • In a large bowl, add flour, flax, oats, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Stir to combine.
  • In a medium bowl, beat egg. Add oil, mashed bananas, and vanilla. Stir to combine.
  • Pour wet ingredients into flour mixture. Add chocolate chips (or nuts) and stir just until moistened.
  • Divide evenly into prepared pan. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cake tester inserted into center comes out clean.

Notes

*If you don’t have ground flax seeds, just use an extra 1/4 cup of all purpose flour. **I often don’t measure the chocolate chips, a little extra can’t hurt right? You could also do a combination of chocolate and nuts, or omit them all completely.
