Tips for the Best Muffins

Use ripe bananas: The riper they are, the sweeter your muffins will be.
Don’t overmix: Stir just until everything is combined to keep the muffins light and fluffy.
Frozen blueberries work too: If using frozen, don’t thaw them to avoid watery muffins.

How to Make Oat Flour at Home

Making oat flour is simple! Just blend gluten-free, old-fashioned rolled oats in a blender or food processor for 30-60 seconds until fine. Store it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. Now you have homemade oat flour ready for your recipes!

Storing and Freezing Your Muffins for Maximum Freshness

To keep your gluten-free blueberry banana muffins fresh:

Room Temperature: Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 days.
Refrigeration: For longer freshness, place them in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Freezing: To freeze, let the muffins cool completely. Wrap each muffin individually in plastic wrap or aluminum foil, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Thawing: When ready to enjoy, thaw at room temperature or microwave for a few seconds until warm.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I substitute oat flour for regular flour in other muffin recipes?

Yes, but with adjustments. Oat flour doesn’t have the same gluten structure as regular flour, so you may need to increase the leavening agents (like baking powder) and add extra moisture (like more bananas or eggs) to get the same texture in other recipes.

How do I know if my oat flour is fresh?

Fresh oat flour typically has a mild, slightly nutty aroma. If it smells off or has a sour scent, it may be stale. To keep it fresh, store oat flour in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer, especially if you purchase it in bulk.

How can I tell if my oat flour is gluten-free?

To ensure your oat flour is gluten-free, check for "certified gluten-free" on the packaging, which indicates it was processed in a gluten-free facility.
