Janelle Esker You have heard me speak of my mom’s incredible baking ability before so it is with much anticipation that I introduce my mom’s FAMOUS (Yes, they really are famous!) granola muffins. She came up with this recipe entirely on her own and she has made them for as long as I can remember. They have the winning combination as far as I am concerned. They are HEALTHY and DELICIOUS!
Oats are incredibly nutritious, just take a look! Half a cup of dry oats contains…
- manganese: 191% of the RDI
- phosphorus: 41% of the RDI
- magnesium: 34% of the RDI
- copper: 24% of the RDI
- iron: 20% of the RDI
- zinc: 20% of the RDI
- folate: 11% of the RDI
- B1: 39% of the RDI
- B5: 10% of the RDI
- calcium, potassium, vitamin B6 and vitamin B3
This recipe is versatile. It can be made as bars or muffins, it can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack, dessert, or energy bar!

1/2 cup olive or coconut oil
1/2 cup unrefined sugar (or for sugar-free add one more banana and omit the sugar)

2 ripe mashed bananas
3/4 cup gluten-free flour mix

1/2 cup raisins or any dried fruit
1/4 cup chopped nuts
2 1/4 cups gluten-free oats
DIRECTIONS
1. Dump all the ingredients into a large mixing bowl and mix on low speed. (I love an easy recipe, don’t you?)
2. Pour into a greased 11×13 Pyrex baking dish or into a prepared muffin tin and bake in a preheated 350-degree oven for 25 minutes.
ENJOY!

Mmmm, I could definitely go for those, but I don’t eat any soy. Does it need a substitute or do you think I could omit it? I have no idea what the texture is; I am assuming not yogurt-ish?
I think you could substitute cream cheese if you eat dairy or yogurt cheese…let me know if you try it with the substitutions and how it turns out!
These sound great, Janelle! My youngest daughter and I eat mostly gluten-free and I’m really looking forward to trying your mom’s famous recipe! 🙂
Thanks Tarissa! I really hope you enjoy them…they taste good and are healthy! Thanks for stopping by!
