Banana Oatmeal Muffins

Delightful muffins that combine the natural sweetness of ripe bananas with hearty oats, perfect for breakfast or a snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup milk (or plant-based milk)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional add-ins (chocolate chips, blueberries, nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it gently.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, rolled oats, and milk. If using maple syrup, mix it in now.
  3. Stir in the vanilla extract, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  4. Gently fold in any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or blueberries.
  5. Spoon the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 of the way full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Test for doneness with a toothpick; it should come out clean.
  7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Keep leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave for 15-20 seconds.
