You could also try substituting almond flour for the oats in this recipe or stevia for the honey. Just be sure to create a thick, cake like batter and watch the baking time.
Flour Alternatives:
- Almond flour is my personal favorite for consistency and flavour. I like to purchase the Kirkland brand almond flour from Costco.
- Coconut flour can sometimes be crumbly in my experience but good in combination with almond flour. I like the Red Mill brand.
- Rice flour is my least favorite in terms of consistency but a great alternative for those who may have allergies.
Sugar Alternatives:
- Stevia is made from the Stevia leaf, I like to use both the granulated and powdered version of this in my recipes.
- Monk Fruit extract is made from Monk fruit, this is another great alternative that is low on the glycemic index.
- Erythritol is a sugar alcohol and another popular low carb sweetener that can be used in baking.

These double chocolate chip muffins are perfect for back-to-school lunches.
Have you actually tested the oatmeal and banana recipe? I had to cook mine 30 min. not 10.
Yes, it’s one of our favorites! Sometimes it takes 12-15 minutes depending on the size of bananas and how ripe they are.
Thanks for the recipe, Heather. However it took longer that you said. I had to check every 5 minutes to toothpick them after 10minutes. :/
Good to know! thanks for the feedback <3
Are you using cooked steel cut oats? Thanks! They look great!
Raw oats :)
These look super moist and yummy! I always use Monkfruit so I’ll sub that for the honey. I think I’ll try the PB2 in place of peanut butter or almond butter. And finally, Lily’s chocolate chips lol . . . I do WW so have to make some modifications but this looks super good!
Those modifications sound delicious! Let me know how they turn out <3
