01
Step 1
Start by heating your oven to 350°F and moving a rack to the lower third. Give a mini muffin tin a quick spray with cooking spray so the muffins don’t stick. In a small bowl, mix the water and flaxseed meal and let it sit for about 5 minutes until it thickens. While that’s resting, whisk together the flour, oats, brown sugar, and salt in a separate bowl.

Step 2
Once the flaxseed mixture is ready, combine it with the mashed bananas, honey, yogurt, egg, applesauce, coconut oil, and vanilla extract in a larger bowl. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ones and gently stir until just combined. Fold in the chocolate chips and walnuts last.

Step 3
Use a small scoop or spoon to fill each muffin cup with batter, then sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on top for a sweet touch. Pop the pan in the oven and bake for around 18 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick comes out clean but still moist.

Step 4
Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to finish cooling. If you want, these freeze really well for a quick snack later on.
