Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, well-mashed

1 cup frozen blueberries

1 cup almond flour (or your choice of flour)

1/2 cup rolled oats

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

Optional: 1/2 cup chopped nuts (such as walnuts or pecans) or dark chocolate chips

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, thoroughly combine the mashed banana, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or fork to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and creamy.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed. This will ensure even distribution of the leavening agent and spices throughout the batter.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients mixture into the wet ingredients bowl. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon just until everything is combined; be careful not to overmix to maintain fluffy muffin bites.

          Add Blueberries: Carefully fold the frozen blueberries into the batter along with any optional ingredients like chopped nuts or chocolate chips, taking care not to crush the berries.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or cookie scoop, fill each cup of the prepared mini muffin tin about two-thirds full with the batter. This allows space for the muffins to rise while baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the heated oven and bake for 15 to 18 minutes. Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin bite; it should come out clean when they are ready.

                Cool Down: Once your muffin bites are golden and baked through, remove the tin from the oven. Allow the bites to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Storage: Enjoy these delightful muffin bites fresh out of the oven or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months and reheat as desired!
