Steel cut won't absorb the liquid as easily. But, hey, it's worth a shot! :) I don’t think it will work unless you cook them a litte first. Steel cut won’t absorb the liquid as easily.

Just a quick question... Wondering if I could use steel cut oats to make these instead of the lrg flake oats. I have a huge bag of them and want to try and use some up!

It worked out good because my muffin pan only makes 12 muffins. I used rasins instead of chips because my son is only 2 and I can't start giving him chocolate quite yet for breakfast:-) I also added a 1/2 tsp cinnamon. They took the full time to bake. Both my 2 year old and I enjoyed them. Thanks! I made 2/3 recipe since I only had 2 over ripe bananas to use up. It worked out good because my muffin pan only makes 12 muffins.

I stumbled across this when I was looking for some banana recipes for my daughter (she's almost 1 and will not eat bananas!!) She loves them! I made then with chocolate chips once and once with dried cranberries, we both actually prefer the cranberries! We check back all the time for new recipes! Thanks for sharing this!

I'd start with just the egg whites. The protein powder may dry them out too much. Let me know how it works out!! I think either could work! I’d start with just the egg whites.

However, I have done the freezer without a problem and you'd probably get a few extra days out of them in the fridge. I just store on countertop and they are gone in a few days.

I actually make them all the time with unsweetned milk now and don't add any additional sweetness. Make the batter and taste it too see what you think. The mini chips are small and through out so just getting one a bite ads the perfect sweetness in my opinion. Mandy – That depends on you.

I found it on Pinterest and followed it to your page. We love the texture and that they are not overly sweet. I've even made them with mashed peaches when I've run out of bananas and added bits of strawberries and less chips when I wanted something different. We don't think we'll be able to eat a "regular" muffing again! Thank you for this recipe! I found it on Pinterest and followed it to your page. We love the texture and that they are not overly sweet.
