Chia Banana Oatmeal Muffins

In my quest to make delicious desserts without oil or butter (combined with my new obsession with chia seeds), I came across this recipe for Chia Banana Oatmeal Muffins. I'm usually not a fan of muffins since they tend to be either dry or not sweet enough for my liking. I added agave to the recipe and the glaze on the top to make them more like a "dessert". These were very moist and sweet! Delicious!
