Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a 12-muffin pan with paper muffin cups.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, salt, and rolled oats.
- In a large bowl, combine the eggs, cane sugar, avocado oil, and vanilla extract. Whisk until creamy.
- Add the mashed banana and Greek yogurt to the wet ingredients and mix well.

- If using frozen blueberries, toss them in a bowl with tapioca starch.
- Gently fold in the blueberries and chocolate chips into the batter.
- Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup to the top.
- Optionally, sprinkle turbinado sugar and oats on top of each muffin.
- Bake at 425°F for 5 minutes. Then, lower the temperature to 350°F without opening the oven door and continue baking for 24-26 minutes until golden.
- Cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack. Enjoy warm.
Notes
Using frozen blueberries does not require thawing, which can help prevent excess moisture.
For added sweetness, increase the sugar slightly, or use overripe bananas.
