Customize Your Muffins

The other thing I love about this muffin recipe is how customizable it is. Have some ripe pears laying around? Perfect! Chop them up and put them into the recipe instead of blueberries. Peaches? Bananas?  These muffins make an awesome grab and go breakfast!

The sky is the limit. Consider this recipe just a healthy muffin base for your favorite mix-ins!

Here are some fun ideas to change up these muffins:

  • Use walnuts or a different nut
  • Add 1/2 cup mashed banana (and 2 tablespoons flaxseed meal)
  • Use apples
  • Try stone fruits!
  • Add 1/4 cup shredded coconut (just add an extra tablespoon of oil)

Ensure Your Oats are Certified Gluten Free Oats

**Make sure the oats you use for this recipe are certified gluten free. It is really important because oats can get cross contaminated so easily. Bob’s Red Mill and Trader Joe’s both have certified gluten free oats available. I am sure there are other brands as well.

Here is a short video to show you how easy this gluten free oatmeal muffin recipe is to make:

  2. What an amazing recipe!! I am going to make it for sure! I always try to minimize the amount of sugar in the everyday treats that I make and my sweetener of choice is definitely maple syrup! Thank you so much for sharing it with us!!!!

  7. They sound wonderful and something I’d be happy to eat for breakfast – I maybe a chocoholic, but I don’t do sugar for breakfast. Do you think they’d work without the xanthan gum?

    Reply

    • I can’t do sugar in the morning either. It wrecks my stomach….but later in the day, my sweet tooth is on fire. If you can’t use xanthan gum, it should be fine. These may be a little more crumbly, maybe a 2-3 teaspoons of flaxmeal would help.

  8. I would love these as is but my kids can’t handle coconut oil and taste even the slightest bit when I try to sneak it in. Do you have an opinion on grapeseed oil? Curious to know.
