To begin making these Mini Banana Oatmeal Chip Muffins I whisked together 2 large eggs. 

Then I whisked in some almond milk, vegetable oil and vanilla extract.

Next I mashed up enough banana to make one cup added it to the mixing bowl.

Once combined I measured in some Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free 1 to 1 Baking Flour, gluten free quick oats, granulated sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

After stirring in the dry ingredients until just combined, I stirred some chocolate chips into the batter.

Then I greased a mini muffin pan.

Next I scooped the muffin batter into the prepared mini muffin pan.

Now the muffins were ready to be placed in a preheated 400F oven and baked for 5 minutes.   

Then I reduced the heat to 350F for 8 - 10 more minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center came out clean.

After removing the muffins from the oven I allowed them to cool in the pan for a few minutes.

After a few minutes I flipped the mini banana oatmeal chip muffins onto their sides to continue cooling.
