Vegan Peanut Butter Oatmeal Muffins

These muffins are great for a quick breakfast or an afternoon snack.   They get their sweetness from bananas and maple syrup, not refined sugar.  The banana flavor goes great with the peanut butter.   Plus they are gluten free.  Just make sure you use certified gluten free oats.

My kids love to have muffins in the morning, they are one of their favorite things to eat for breakfast. These peanut butter oatmeal muffins are super healthy and delicious, so I love that the kids eat them as much as they do.  With my son having to eat gluten free I always try to make sure he can enjoy some his favorite things.  My husband loves anything that has peanut butter in it, so he is especially happy when I make this flavor of oatmeal muffins.

For this oatmeal muffin recipe I used whole old fashioned oats, so the texture is more like baked oatmeal.  They come together super fast and can be made in one bowl, which means less cleanup.  You can always add in some chopped peanuts or pecans as well.  Since my daughter has braces right now the nuts are unfortunately not an option for us.
