With the world becoming more health conscious in recent years with the rise of Vegan, gluten-free and GMO free diets, people are more considerate of what they put in their bodies. Fried Chicken is one of those foods that has been kicked to the curb for healthier stewed, baked or grilled options.

Jamaican Food: Banana-Nut Oat Muffins
Banana-Nut Oat Muffins
I’m always in search of some good gluten free muffins. It’s a more difficult task that you might think when you don’t eat dairy, sugar and flour.
But I found a pretty good Banana-Nut Oat Muffins recipe that was simple to make. If you’re used to delicious, flaky, mouth-watering muffins, then you probably won’t be a fan of this recipe. But for those who don’t eat real bread, or are looking for a healthy muffin recipe, then you’ll definitely enjoy these.
The muffins are a little dense because of the oats, but the taste certainly makes up for it. They’re also vegan, which means they don’t contain animal products such as eggs and milk.
Banana-Nut Oat Muffins
2 cups oats, ground into flour in a food processor. You can also buy oat flour in the store.
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 very ripe bananas, mashed
1 Tablespoon olive or coconut oil
1/3 cup applesauce
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2/3 cup chopped walnutsDirections
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Spray 9×5 inch loaf pan or cupcake pan.

- In a separate bowl, mash bananas and stir in 1/3 cup applesauce, vanilla extract and oil until the consistency is smooth and creamy.
- Fold in oat flour mixture.
- Gently fold in walnuts. Pour batter into prepared loaf pan or cupcake pan.
