FAQs
Can I make Banana Oat Muffins gluten-free?

A: Absolutely! Substitute the eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 2.5 tbsp water per egg), and use a dairy-free milk option like almond or oat milk.
Q: How do I make them more protein-rich?
A: Add a scoop of protein powder, Greek yogurt, or nut butter to increase the protein content.
Q: How long do these muffins last?
A: They last up to 3 days at room temperature, up to a week in the fridge, and up to 3 months in the freezer when stored in an airtight container.
