- I wanted to make a delicious yet nutritious muffin for my granddaughter “Sweet Pea.” So I came up with this amazing vegan Quinoa Banana Oat Muffin that my entire family enjoys. It is a made without flour, oil or sugar. Naturally sweetened with very ripe bananas, applesauce and spiced just right with ground cinnamon, freshly grated nutmeg, cardamom and vanilla powder.

The Recipe
Quinoa Banana Oat Muffins
• 20 ounces mashed over ripe banana - about 2 1/3 cups of mashed banana, frozen bananas thawed out is fine
• 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
• 1/2 cup prewashed quinoa -dry - uncooked ground into a powder - see video
• 2 cups Quick Cooking Steel Cut Oats
• 2 1/2 cups Old Fashioned Oats
• 1/4 cup ground golden flaxseed meal
• 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon baking powder
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg - freshly ground is best - see video
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder or 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large bowl mash the bananas using a potato masher or a large fork. Mix in the applesauce. Add the cinnamon, baking powder, cardamom, nutmeg and vanilla powder or vanilla extract. Stir until well incorporated. Add the quinoa powder, quick cooking steel cut oats, old fashioned oats and ground flaxseed meal. Stir until well combined.
If using metal muffin tins use baking cup liners to prevent sticking or use silicone muffin pans. Using a 1/2 cup measuring cup divide batter evenly into 12 muffin cups. Bake for 30-35 minutes - depending on your oven. They take 30 minutes in my Breville Smart Oven Air on the bake function.
Let cool completely. May be frozen for future enjoyment.
Yield: 12 muffins
Note: To make these Gluten Free be sure to buy gluten free oats.
A Nutmeg Notebook Recipe
When she said baking was a science. That spoke to my soul. When I bake, I image myself in chemistry class.
I discovered fresh nut made also a couple of years ago around Thanksgiving and never stopped using them. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks for sharing. Happy healthy eating.🪴🌞🥒🥗😋
Enjoy! Fresh nutmeg is delightful!
Thank you for a great recipe! I make these every two weeks because they satisfy my sweet tooth for snacks and as a side for a hearty soup. I will need to batch prep too! Love all your recipes for WFPB lifestyle! Enjoy watching the two of you!
Glad you like them!
Love this lady...thank u so much🇯🇲
Thank you for watching.
So nice to have a recipe for a really filling muffin that's good for you, thanks. Also thanks for including a cup measure for us in a metric system. Also for mashing things a traditional way is to use a cup or mug. Mm nutmeg can't wait to try these.
Finally got around to making these muffins, and my husband and I really like them! Great recipe Tami, and so fun to watch this video while I was mixing everything together😊
I know and I used a coffee grinder to grind it
Great ideas, easy to follow tips. I super appreciate your videos Tammy, thanks for all the work you put in to them for our benefit!
A ricer works really well for mashing bananas or avocados.
You rock Tammy!
Thank you!
Tq ... Sincere & Authentic Chef.. 👍⚘
So nice of you
I am watching all of your videos from the very beginnning and enjoying you guys so much. I found nutrition facts and Dr. Greger back in July 2017 and got even healthier on whole foods. So I found your channel because you were testing out recipes for the HNTD cookbook! The extras at the end of this video were a nice touch - good job with filming and editing and creating.
I wonder if you could sub pumpkin for the applesauce?
It wouldn't be as sweet but you could try it.
@@NutmegNotebook thanks! I realize it’s not recommended by the WFPB community, but I use stevia sometimes.
Love the idea of putting ingredients together for later use:) Getting everything out and measuring takes the longest!
It is such a time saver over all! Thank you for watching and if you haven't already please visit the blog www.nutmegnotebook.com and subscribe to get your two exlclusive recipes for subscribers only.
if you are going to all the trouble of using such healthy ingredients, DON'T microwave it !!!
There is nothing wrong with using a microwave oven. Dr Greger has read all the research and the scientific evidence is that they are ok to use. nutritionfacts.org/?s=microwave+oven
What if you just have ordinary quinoa? You have to soak & wash them & leave overnight? Do I just dry them out in oven to get the dry quinoa?
Just use oats or you can buy quinoa flakes or use millet and grind it.
Finally someone who measures the ingredients precisely! Thank you very much!
It helps to turn out a great product every time!
Hello Tami,
Just found your program this afternoon and enjoyed it. Teddie said you have good info and she is our cook. I am the tech person and maybe the bottle washer. Did you mention something about Rocklin? We are in Rocklin CA - so, are you in our backyard?
Jim & Teddie
Yes we are nearby! We are so glad you found us. Be sure to follow us on our Nutmeg Notebook facebook as we will have a meet up at a local vegan restaurant as soon as it is safe to do so!
@@NutmegNotebook Hi Tami & Tom,
We are still watching and got your nice reply. The lunch sounds good except we do not facebook. We are 80+ and never saw the need for it. We don't have a smart phone either. But, we do face time and get all our video off the net instead of cable and sat dish. So we are not all cave man era and get great entertainment with no bill.
I just made these tonight. I don't know - mine did not rise; at all. And boy, do they look dense. They're too hot to taste test - so I'm wondering how they'll taste. I got all my ingredients measured out in bowls just like you - and started putting it together. At first you think, no way will there be enough moisture to absorb the dry ingredients. But there was. I was amazed at the fact each cup took exactly the 1/2 cup full of batter. That's what I call a precise recipe. Well, my husband just commented they look like hockey pucks (LOL); sure hope they don't. Always ready with his 2 cents. Well, after I've tasted tested them I'll have to get back and add an update (if I can figure out how).
I finally made these muffins. To grind the quinoa I used a coffee grinder. It works like a charm! Thank you Tami. I love all your recipes.
You are so welcome - I'm glad you liked the muffins.
I really enjoy the videos and try your recipes. I’d like to try this, am I right thinking they are gluten free?
If you use certified gluten free oats they are for sure gluten free. Oats are naturally gluten free but may be processed on equipment that also is used for grains that contain gluten and could be contaminated with gluten.
Looks so good and They are so healthy. I need to try them. Thank you.
Can regular steel cut oats (not quick cooking) be used? I can’t find quick cooking anywhere
Just put the regular steel cut oats in a food processor and cut them up a bit more before using them.
OMG....... I made them today. Absolutely delicious!! Thank you Tammy!!
Glad you like them!
Looking really forward to making these. I have a serious reaction to gluten (even cross contamination) and need to be tested for ceoliac disease (test is horrendous) I still bake the good stuff for my family but haven't come across anything really decent that's gluten free for myself - although I did make my regular red velvet cake gluten free and turned out fantastic
Thank you for all your information of the products and recipe. Wishing all the best
You are welcome. Enjoy!
Thank you very much for such healthy, delicious vegan muffins. Really appreciate this bec it would substitute for a fruitcake💕❤️Sooo good👍💯
all i have to say is wow!
This is such delicious and mouth-watering Gluten Free Quinoa Oats Muffin recipe. These are really very easy to prepare, looks delicious & super healthy. One of my friend suggested me about a very Healthy and Clean Label Food Brand, True Elements and she is very happy about it. Tried these recipe using True Elements Gluten Free Rolled Oats, Steel Cut Oats and Quinoa and they turned out to be super tasty. Would highly recommend it to everyone. Do give it a try :)
Would be good on a waffle iron too!
DO YOU USE PROCESSED OILS?
Do you use processed foods: pasta, dairy, and meats?
Why not use flax seeds egg for the oil, instead of processed apple sauce?
Great video again. Hi from Australia
Great recipe, what can you replace apple sauce with
I honestly don't know - maybe find a recipe that isn't made with bananas. These are to be banana muffins.
Excellent 😂
Hi nice video
I love the fact that you have a microphone on you. Some youtube videos are hard to hear!
It does make a big difference with sound quality! Happy New Year!
Hi Tammy could you but yeast in this muffins
No they don’t need yeast. You can skip the baking powder as it only adds a tiny bit of lift to the muffins.
Great idea to pre-mix extra batches of dry ingredients - anything to save time! Do you find you use the full 32 oz jar of applesauce before it goes bad in the fridge? That's the only thing holding me back from getting that at Costco. Thanks for a recipe that I will absolutely have to try!
We do use the applesauce up before it spoils most of the time. Of course our granddaughter enjoys eating it. You can freeze the leftover applesauce for up to 3 months. I would portion it out into 1 cup servings making it perfect for the muffin recipe. Enjoy!
@@NutmegNotebook Thank you, Tami. I guess with the pre-made dry ingredients on hand, and frozen applesauce and bananas, you would practically have instant muffins!😊
So true! It just doesn't get any easier than this for homemade made from scratch healthy muffins.
Also, if you store the jar upside down in the refrigerator the applesauce will keep much longer . Also works with tomato products like salsa.
Not sure what I did differently but mine certainly did not turn out soft in the centre. They are almost as hard as pucks. Will have to soak in a bit of boiling water and eat as porridge I think. Thanks anyway.
I haven’t ever had a batch turn out that way. You may have over baked them. They are dense and heavy but not dry. Also check the temperature of your oven with a small oven thermometer you can get at a kitchen store. Maybe your oven runs hot and you might need to reduce the baking temp. Remember these are not a light and fluffy muffin like we used to make.
What’s the brand of your muffin pan? Thanks for sharing. Happy healthy eating.🥒🥗😋🪴
I found quinoa flour, can I use this instead of grounding it?
Yes that should work. I use quinoa flakes now and it works great.
Thanks! I am learning so much from you!!
thanks for posting the recipe because I can't find it on your blog?

@@NutmegNotebook thank you!!
Can you make these in a pie maker?
I don’t know what a pie maker is.
This looks yumm💕 can I use all regular oats don’t have quick cooking oats ??
I don't know because I haven't tried that. I use the quick cooking steel cut oats but if you have regular steel cut oats you can process them a little bit in your food processor to break them up more.
Your link for the vanilla powder does not work.
Elaine the inventory on Amazon comes and goes especially during the pandemic. Here is the brand I most recently ordered and have been using. amzn.to/3iCujMi
Thank you dear Tammy…
Super awesome looks delicious 😋
That is so smart the way you batched extra! Excellent!
Thank you it works so well for me.
This recipe is fantastic! Delicious with a wonderful texture. I made them yesterday and I’ve already eaten more than I planned to!
I’m so glad you like this muffin recipe! Happy Baking!

I am so excited to try these muffins. When our kids were young I used to make muffins all the time for them using what I thought at the time was a very healthy recipe. I have wanted a good recipe to hand down for my grandkids and this one fits the bill. Thank you. :) What size container did you use for your mix ahead batches? Thank you. :)
I use the rubbermaid 5.2 cup containers
amzn.to/37fsdKc
OMG these are so good. I bought the silicone cupcake pans and the recipe fit perfect with all your info. One question...has anyone tried or do you think adding some blueberries would work? Maybe little less bananas to meet the 20oz and sub blueberries? A breakfast or lunch meal...had one for lunch with some mixed raw veggies...yummy, thank you!
You can add some blueberries no problem!
I LOVE that this has no processed sugar!! only beautiful and natural sweetness from the bananas!!

Thanks for this short but informative and yummy video. I just ordered some ingredients to make this. And thanks for the tip of batch prepping for next time. You’re the best!!!
You are so welcome!
Do you store the batches ingredients in the fridge, freezer, or pantry?
Either one works!
Recently found you and I am just starting with whole foods plant based and it's really nice to have someone with your knowledge to watch and learn. Thank you both so very much I really enjoy watching.

Milena Toala thank you! We love them too. ❤️
Superb I will make it, can we garnish with blueberries or chocolate cunks?
Yes you can
Log this recipe, but my husband can't have quinoa or most other grains besides oats. Can I make oat flower instead? He can't have nut flowers either.
Yes you can use oat flour that would work just fine! Be sure to subscribe to our blog and get 2 exclusive recipes for subscribers only at www.nutmegnotebook.com
Can I make these without the steel cut oats just the old fashioned ones? Genius idea have the pre prep ingredients in a container. I will definitely do that. You voice and personality was so lovely and relaxing! I can watch you all day lol Thank you for sharing!
I haven't tried making them with all old fashioned oats so I can't say. You could try making a half of a recipe and see how it goes.
Thank you, I can wait to make this recipe for my little niece, this is a healthy, vegan amazing idea. Thank you so much!.
Question: what brand is your quinoa and where did you find it, please?.
I buy ore-washed quinoa at Costco. You can also buy Quinoa Flakes - no need to grind them. We have both products on our Amazon Affiliate page. www.amazon.com/shop/nutmegnotebook
Thank you so much :-)
Thank you for watching.
Such a pleasure watching your u-tubes. Love your batch idea.
Glad you like them!
Just made these and they are really tasty and very hearty. You can really taste the sweetness of the bananas. Thank you for the recipe and video. Seeing how it is made makes it less intimidating to make it myself. I love all your videos and recipes!
Thank you so much for your kind review! I am so glad you enjoyed the recipe. Happy Cooking.
Is it possible for you to share calories per muffin? ♥️
On a whole food plant based lifestyle we have no need to track individual calories. We eat until comfortably full from a wide variety of healthy Whole Foods. If we are in weight-loss mode then it’s advisable to keep our food choices to the lower calorie density foods - see my Calorie Density video for all the details. If you want the calorie information you can use one of the free on line calorie calculators where you plug in all of the ingredients with measurements to get the nutritional information.
Thanks so much for recipe perfectly moist and great tasting.
Thank you! I’m glad you like them. I made a batch today.
I don't understand. I followed this recipe on the website and they are very heavy, kind of hard. hmmm
Hi Kristine I am sorry they didn't turn out for you. When we are baking with out flour and using bananas for moisture we have to eye ball the batter and decide if it is too wet - add more oats - or too dry - add more banana. Then we also have different ovens and baking pans so we have to adjust accordingly to our oven, some run hotter than others, different muffin pans act differently and so on. I can tell you that these muffins are dense - moist - not dry, but because we are not using flour they are dense and not a light fluffy crumb like traditional muffins. Whole food, no oil, no sugar baking creates a different final outcome for sure. It sounds like they may have been over baked and they may not have had enough moisture to start with. This is a tried and true recipe that is enjoyed by our followers but we all have different personal preferences and not every recipe is going to be liked by everyone. If you try them again know that the batter should be very wet - you might need to cut back on your baking time for your oven and your pans. Hope this helps!
Thank you Tammi for sharing this wonderful recipe. I have bananas thawing, ready to make some today. you are always inspiring, I just love watching your videos.
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It is my mission to help people figure out how to make this lifestyle easy! Happy Cooking.
I am a new vegan so I appreciate you for sharing your skills with the vegan community
You are so welcome!
I don’t have the quick steel oats is there another type of oats that can be used?
Use steel cut oats that you process in the food processor to make them smaller. You can use all rolled oats but I don't like the texture that way as much.
I tried using my 12 pc muffin pan and the size of each muffin only holds 1/4 c measurement. So I now have double muffins. 24 small ones. I think your muffin pan is for 1/2 c size muffins which I think are considered large muffin. Next time I know better. Tami love your videos so helpful.
I had standard muffin tins and standard size silicone muffin tins and they all hold 1/2 cup - how strange that yours are only 1/4 cup size. Well you get to have 2 per serving that way!

Hi Tami, can I make these without flaxseed? I am allergic to it. Would it still bind?
It should be fine with out the flax.
@@NutmegNotebook Thankyou for the quick response! 😍
I love that batch cooking idea to take away on the weekends. Also, instead of buying 2 kinds of oats, I take half and pulse in the vitamix to break down- works great.
That is a great idea!
is the flaxseed in place of egg? or just for goodness.
Both - it works a binder and adds healthy fat.
Prep ahead. Brilliant!!

Hi Tami, I made these yesterday. We all loved them.
I am so glad! They are a favorite of mine! Happy New Year!
Can I use regular quinoa?
20 oz is 2 1/2 cups.
Hi Tami. I'm making this tonight. I'm not sure if the 1/2 cup measurement of Quinoa means 1/2 cup before or after grinding them into a powder. Since I already ground them from the 1/2 cup measurement, I will use the entire powder results which yielded one cup plus 2 tablespoons plus 1 tsp. I'm hoping the extra doesn't impact the recipe negatively. I love everything you do and how you do it. Thank you! Have a blessed night!
How did they turn out? I measure the 1/2 cup then grind it like I show in the video. Thank you so much for watching. If you haven't already be sure to subscribe to our channel and the blog to get your 2 exclusive recipes just for subscribers at www.nutmegnoteook.com
May I Ask why the Oat have to be steel cut Oak? Not every Costco carry it! Anything else substitute it. Very healthy recipe. Thanks
ban nguyen you can use all rolled oats if you wish. The texture will be different but it will work. I use the steel cut oats to boost the nutrition.
Nutmeg Notebook - i like healthy ccooking.
This whole video was brilliant (the whole prep thing too) and these look wonderful. You really should put Vegan in Video title. You'd get a lot more clicks and comments!
I see you have Vegan in the description under the video, but I did not come upon this in a search for Vegan muffins, but rather clicked on it accidentally! 💗🙏🌺
Thank you! Will do!

Can you eat this on weight loss diet ??? Thanks
Can I use peaches instead of bananas
ak s I don’t know I’ve never tried them. The recipe works the way it’s written and I don’t know what will happen with peaches. You could make half a batch and try it. That way if it’s a fail you haven’t wasted too many ingredients.
I made these today. They are dense and heavy which is what I expected. I don’t think I will eat again for several days... very filling.
They do make a good meal on the run. Saved me many times🙂
I love to watch your videos.
