Ingredients

• 150g rolled oats
• 2 bananas

Method

You’ll need: air fryer · muffin tin · blender

1. Stir the chia seeds into the water and leave to swell for 10 minutes.
2. Grind the oats into flour in the blender and mix with the baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
3. Mash the bananas and stir with the almond butter, maple syrup and chia gel until smooth. Add the oat mixture and fold in the blueberries.
4. Divide the batter between six silicone muffin cases and put them into the basket.
5. Bake the muffins at 160 °C for 14 to 16 minutes without preheating, until no batter sticks to a wooden skewer.
6. Leave the muffins to cool for 10 minutes before taking them out of the cases and serving.

Good to know

Bake six muffins without preheating the oven: the air fryer does it in a quarter of an hour. The banana brings sweetness and moistness, and the blueberries burst as they bake.

Swaps

Almond butter → cashew butter (milder; contains tree nuts) or sunflower seed butter (nut-free). Blueberries → raspberries (more tart). Maple syrup → date syrup (more caramel-like). Chia seeds → ground linseed.

Cooking tips

Six cases fit into a basket of 5 litres or more; otherwise bake in two batches. If they get too dark on top, lay a piece of baking paper loosely over them after 10 minutes.

Keeps for 3 days in a box, or 2 months frozen; to thaw, put them in the fridge overnight.
