These are called FAVE muffins because not only are they my kids’ favorite muffin, but the recipe is adapted from my friend’s original recipe, who is called… Favian! Of course, we also call her Fave. : )

Hope you love these as much as we do. Depending on whether you just want enough to eat fresh, or you want to freeze them for lunches, or for a party, etc. I’ve provided three different recipes for: 18, 24, or 36 muffins – depending on how much you want to make.

If you don’t want to use maple syrup, you can switch out for any liquid sweetener, like honey or agave syrup.

THIS FIRST RECIPE MAKES 18 MUFFINS – one and a half of the pan shown above.

    • 1 1/2 cups oat flour (grind up rolled GF oats in blender)
    • 3/4 cup gluten-free flour blend (Pamela’s is good)
    • 3/4 cup almond flour
    • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed
    • 3/4 tsp baking soda
    • 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
    • 1/3 cup maple syrup
    • 3/4 cup melted butter
    • 2 eggs
    • 3 bananas
    • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (or raisins, cranberries, apricots)
