These hearty peanut butter banana blender muffins make a great breakfast or snack for little (or big!) ones - Made simply by first blending all of the whole food ingredients and then baking them.
I blended up these muffins the other morning, and the kids all went nuts for 'em!
Henceforth, onto the bloggy they go!
I find that adding in two tablespoons of maple syrup sweetens them up enough for my clan, but I've successfully used applesauce in place of maple syrup as well.
Add in a dash of stevia to bump up the sweetness, if need be, but as written, these are pretty delicious!
These have a nice, dense texture...almost fudgy, I want to say. Not brownie fudgy, but a good, substantial bite.
We typically have these for breakfast or snacks, so it's nice that they're lower in sugar and have some protein to offset the carbs

I was looking for something new to make today and just found these. Having all the ingredients I just gave it a go. I made them with sunflower seed butter because my child goes to a peanut free/tree nut free school and I wanted to be able to pack them in her lunch. They turned out well, but I'm thinking the peanut butter is better.

What kind of oats do you use? I eat steel cut oats, so I have those kind on hand. Is that a kind that would work with this recipe?
Lauren
I use regular rolled oats. Not sure about the steel-cut, as they have a very different texture.
