  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and prepare the muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
  3. Add eggs, maple syrup, and unsweetened vanilla almond milk to the bananas and whisk until combined.
  4. Gently fold in the rolled oats into the banana mixture.
  5. In another bowl, whisk together whole wheat pastry flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Gradually add to the wet ingredients and fold until just combined.

Notes

For maximum sweetness, use very ripe bananas. Let rolled oats soak for 5-10 minutes for tenderness. Keep an eye on baking time for perfect doneness.
