Ingredients:
2 ripe bananas (mashed)
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)
1/3 cup brown sugar (or honey)
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted butter)
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Optional Add-ins:
1/2 cup chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits.
Instructions:
- Preheat and Prepare:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- Mix Dry Ingredients:
In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Mix Wet Ingredients:
In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, sugar (or honey), oil, milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
- Combine:
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently until just combined. If using add-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruits, fold them in at this stage.
- Fill Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.
- Bake:
Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.
