Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 cups oats
  • 3 bananas
  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup pitted whole dates
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • a pinch of salt and cinnamon, optional
  • chocolate chips, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Heat the oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Grease a muffin tin.
  3. Blend all ingredients together in a blender or food processor until the mixture is smooth.
  4. Divide the batter among the muffin tin cups, making 10-12 standard muffins. Add chocolate chips on top if desired.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes.

Notes

The recipe was tested with soft whole pitted dates that blend easily, and Medjool dates also work well. If the dates are firm, soak them in warm water before blending to help soften them, especially when using a less powerful blender.
