• 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
• 1/4 cup melted coconut oil
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup oat flour or all-purpose, GF or white whole wheat flour
• 1 cup old fashioned oats

Streusel Topping:

• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Prepare a muffin pan with cooking spray or muffin liners.
2. Add the bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash with a fork.
3. Then add the maple syrup, coconut oil, eggs and vanilla extract and mix until well combined.
4. Add the oat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Stir with a rubber spatula until the dry ingredients are incorporated.
5. Add blueberries and mix until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
6. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, butter and cinnamon with a fork or your hands; mix until crumbly and mostly combined.
7. Spoon the muffin batter into the prepared muffin pan. Then sprinkle the muffins evenly with the crumble.
8. Bake for 17-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out mostly clean with a few wet crumbs.
9. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve with cream cheese, if desired, and enjoy!

To freeze extra muffins:

 Let the muffins cool completely on the counter for a few hours, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container to freeze for up to 3 months.
