2 1/2 cup oats (I used the regular, non-quick-cook kind)
1 cup almond meal
1 1/2 cup brown sugar and cinnamon oatmeal (see note below)
3/4 cup brown sugar
3 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
4 ripe bananas
4 eggs
1 cup vanilla (Greek, if possible) yogurt
1 cup plain Greek yogurt
finely chopped nuts and/or chocolate, optional
*Note - I make my own large batch of brown sugar and cinnamon oatmeal. Original recipe found here. Again, I've modified. I leave out the maple flavoring and I think I reduced the sugar.*
Put first six ingredients in food processor (or blender), then dump into another (huge) bowl. Finely chop nuts (I used walnuts and almonds) and chocolate, optional. I put them in the food processor. Do not use too much chocolate. I used probably 1/2 a cup and it is more than enough. I probably used about a cup each of whole walnuts and almonds. Dump into flour-like mixture. Put last four ingredients into food processor to blend, then add to bowl. Mix all.
Spray muffin tins and fill about 1/2 full of batter. These are not fluffy muffins, but they aren't so dense that they aren't good either. Bake at 400 for 10-20 minutes. I can't seem to get the time just right on them.
Enjoy!
