These Banana Oat Muffins are approx. 16g of carbs per muffin.
Do you find yourself often buying bananas and then you don’t eat them in time and they go brown? I do. All the time! And for me that means baking time! You could also peel them, chop them up and freeze them ready for a smoothie, but if you feel inclined to bake give these healthy muffins a go! I have used wholemeal flour rather than white flour as it has a much higher nutritional value and is far higher in fiber and lower GI which means it’s going to keep you going for longer and you won’t get quite the same spike in your energy and blood sugar levels. I’ve added oats which are also high in fiber and low GI. And they are also believed to protect against heart disease (great for diabetics!!) and help lower blood sugar!
If you like you could add some chopped nuts, like walnuts to these, or maybe some chopped dairy and sugar free chocolate, or even blueberries! Yum! These muffins are a great little snack when you need a pick me up or are just feeling a little peckish. My husband was even grabbing one each morning as he left for work and would eat it as an on the go breakfast.
For the vegan egg replacer I used flaxseed egg replacer, you can find the recipe here
These muffins are super versatile, healthy and of course delicious!

Hi I was wondering if you would have the nutritional values for this banana oat muffin recipe. I am a Type 1 diabetic and I have a daughter who is vegan so I try and make all my dessert recipes vegan to accommodate everyone but in my case I do require the nutritional values since I am counting carbohydrates along with, fiber, proteins, fats, sodium, calories and cholesterol. Thank you for your time and stay safe.
Hi Nancy! Thank you for your message! I am not a trained dietician or nutritionist or anything like that and I only count carbohydrates for my diabetes, so unfortunately the only nutritional info I have for these is the carbohydrates. For these muffins there are approx. 16g of carbs per muffin. This may vary slightly depending on the plant milk you use, I used Vitasoy protein plus soy milk which is 2.75g carbs per 1/2 cup. I hope that helps!!
