Tips:

  1. For best results and easy maneuvering of the ingredients use eggs at room temperature.
  2. Duration of baking may change with different ovens, so let the cupcakes bake for 15 minutes straight and from then on check every 1 minute so that cupcakes don’t burn.
  3. If you don’t have oat flour, you can always make some at home by grinding some oats in the mixer but measure the flour in cups after grinding.

Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degree F.

2. Line the cupcake tray with the cupcake liner or spray it with cooking spray.

3. In a big glass bowl, add oat flour and whole wheat flour and mix well.

4. Add baking soda, baking powder, salt and cinnamon powder and mix well.

5. Add room temperature eggs, olive oil and honey in the mixture.

6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips to the mixture.

7. In another bowl, mash ripe bananas with a fork.

8. Add mashed bananas and vanilla extract to flour mixture and mix well.

9. Pour the batter in the tray and put some chocolate chips on top.
