Ingredients
  

1 ripe banana, thoroughly mashed

1 cup frozen blueberries, no need to thaw

1 cup almond flour (or substitute with your favorite 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 temperature to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a mini muffin tin by either lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mash the banana thoroughly until smooth. Add the honey (or maple syrup), unsweetened applesauce, eggs, and vanilla extract. Use a whisk or fork to mix the ingredients together until they are well blended and uniform in texture.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond flour, rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Make sure there are no lumps in the flour for an even mix.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until everything is just combined; avoid overmixing for perfect muffin bites.

          Add Blueberries: Carefully fold in the frozen blueberries along with any optional ingredients such as chopped nuts or dark chocolate chips. Ensure they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or small ice cream scoop, fill each cup of the prepared muffin tin about two-thirds full. This allows room for the muffins to rise while baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15-18 minutes. The muffin bites are done when they turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool Down: After baking, take the muffin tin out of the oven. Let the muffin bites cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Storage: Enjoy your delicious muffin bites right away, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. For longer storage, freeze them for up to 3 months – perfect for a quick snack anytime!
