Ingredients

1 cup oat flour
1 cup whole wheat white flour
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
150 g about 1 large ripe banana, plus 1/2 an additional banana thinly sliced for tops of muffins (optional)
1 heaping cup grated zucchini squeezed of excess water
2 eggs
1/4 cup 0% plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F and grease a mini-muffin tin with baking spray.
Combine flours, spices, baking powder and baking soda in a large bowl.
Mash banana in a small bowl. Add zucchini, eggs, yogurt and vanilla and stir until well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients and stir until fully incorporated.
Scoop batter evenly into 20 mini-muffin tins.
Top each muffin tin with a slice of banana (if desired) and gently press down into the batter.
Place the muffin tray into the oven and bake for 5 minutes.
Reduce temperature to 350°F and bake for another 10 minutes until edges are starting to turn golden brown and muffin is cooked through in the center.
Remove the tray from the oven and let cool on a rack.
Once completely cooled, store muffins in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

Notes

*These muffins are just slightly sweet from the banana. If you like a sweeter baked good, I would suggest adding additional sweetener such as maple syrup or some sugar to the batter according to your preferences. You could also use a vanilla flavored Greek yogurt instead of plain for some additional sweetness.
