What is the difference between a muffin and a cupcake?
Muffins tend to be less sweat compared to a cupcake. Cupcakes are simply mini cakes whereas muffins are made with healthier flour and ingredients. Cupcakes are tender and rich because they are mostly made with eggs and butter. On the other hand, a muffin, like this Banana Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Muffins is denser and less rich which makes them a much healthier treat. Muffins can be savory instead of sweet and you can pretty much have daily whereas a cupcake is more of a dessert you have on occasions.

It says one cup of banana how many banana is that?
How long to bake at 400?
Can I not use cupcake liners ?
Rena says
Hi. You don’t have to use cupcake liners. You will need about 3 large bananas and bake for 15-18 minutes. Use a toothpick to check for doneness until it comes out clean.
nicole says
Anyone use extra banana in place of egg?
Jessica says
Hey! Can applesauce be a substitute for oil in this recipe?
Rena says
Yes, even though we didn’t test it yet with apple sauce, it would be a good substitute to try
Valerie says
Hi Rena,
Thanks for sharing. Can I use honey in place of the stevia and ground oatmeal in place of whole wheat flour? Thanks.
Rena says
Hi there. Yes, those are ok to switch out.
Lisa says
Hi!!
What is the measurement for honey if it replaces the stevia?
Thank you!
Lisa
Rena says
1/4 cup should be good enough. If you prefer it sweeter you can add 1/2 cup
Elle says
Can almond flour be used in place of all flours? Thanks, Elle
Rena says
I have not tried this with almond flour. You could try but it will be moist and less fluffy
Alhan says
Hello rena,
Can I use yogurt instead of whey protein in this recipe?
Thank u
Rena says
Hi. Yes you can do that

Hi
I am making your banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins right now and noticed a couple of omissions it should be corrected:
– instructions say whisk in egg , yet no egg is listed on ingredients
– when mixing the dry ingredients together, oats are omitted
Big time at 400°, yet they are very well done, brown on top. Are used muffin papers in a metal nonstick tin. Any suggestions?
I made your Slow Cooker southwest turkey chili- it was a hit!
I Instagram-thank you so much !
Rena says
Hi, Thank you! So sorry I did forget to add the egg in the ingredients I fixed it! Yes, you would have to use a nonstick pan. It was ok in my oven at 400 degrees but if it was too brown on your end test if it’s done at 15 minutes or lower temp at 350.
I am so glad you liked the chicken chili
Erin G says
Hi! I am wondering if coconut sugar could be used as the low-calorie sweetner in this recipe? 🙂
Thank you!
Rena says
Hi Erin,
You can use Coconut sugar. I usually bake with the stevia used for baking.
