Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
2. Prepare a muffin pan with a liner of choice. Grease as necessary.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the flax and water and let it sit.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, and salt.
5. In a third bowl, combine the oil, vanilla, vinegar, sugar, flax mixture, and mashed bananas.
6. Combine the dry and wet ingredients and stir enough to combine. Avoid over-mixing.
7. Fold in the chocolate chips and/or nuts/seeds, if adding.
8. Pour the batter into the lined muffin cups.
9. Bake the muffins for 16-18 min, or until the toothpick comes out clean.
