Banana Chocolate Chip Oat Bran Muffins

Ripe bananas on your counter, what better way to use them, other than banana bread, then by making some banana chocolate chip muffins, with an extra addition of oat bran for fiber.

Over the past few months, I’ve made a lot of fudgy oat bars. They are amazingly delicious, but a change was needed, as was some extra fiber. These muffins are that answer. They are rich in fiber and are gluten-free. Made with only two flours, aside from the addition of oat bran, coconut flour, and arrowroot starch. They are super simple to make and they store well.
