Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 375 F and lightly oil or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In large mixing bowl, whip coconut oil and honey until creamy. (Optional: Wet ingredients can be prepared high speed blender. Lightly pulse to incorporate when adding eggs last.)
  3. Stir in mashed bananas, kefir, and vanilla.
  4. Add eggs and mix to incorporate.
  5. Place 2 Tbsp Moringa powder (or desired amount) into a 2 cup measuring dish. Fill the rest of 1.5 cups with whole wheat flour. Empty into a medium mixing bowl.
  6. Add rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon, and nutmeg (to taste). Mix until well-combined.
  7. Gradually mix dry flour mixture into large mixing bowl. Stir until just incorporated.
  8. Fold in your choice of 1-2 cups add-in (berries, nuts, coconut, or chocolate). Note: Best to lightly thaw berries if using frozen. The muffins seem not to rise quite as well and take a couple of minutes longer to bake if used directly from the freezer. *When using previously frozen berries, lightly dust them in flour (combination of almond flour and coconut shreds) mixture to help prevent the color bleeding through entire batter while stirring fruit into muffin batter. Using chocolate completely eliminates the need:)
  9. Divide mixture evenly among the muffin tins. Place in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until tops are golden brown and set.
  10. Allow to cool completely before removing. This allows the muffins to set and prevents them from sticking to the liners.
