Common Mistakes, Notes, Prep in Advance, Storage, Swaps & Tips

Notes:

  • Blend rolled oats in a blender for 30–60 seconds to make oat flour — no need to buy it separately.
  • The riper the banana, the sweeter and more moist the muffins.

Storage:

  • Room temperature for 2 days, fridge for up to 5 days, freeze for up to 2 months.

Tips:

  • Use certified GF oats if you need these to be fully gluten-free.
