• Prep Time: 10 minutes
• Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Total Time: 30 minutes
• Servings: 12 muffins
• Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 1 large egg
• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
3. In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it’s okay if there are a few lumps.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Helpful Tips

• For added texture and flavor, try mixing in a handful of chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, or dried fruit into the batter.
• You can substitute the vegetable oil with coconut oil or melted butter if preferred.
• If you prefer a dairy-free version, replace the milk with almond milk or any other plant-based milk.
• These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to a month.

Pairing

These Banana Oatmeal Muffins pair beautifully with a steaming cup of coffee or a warm glass of milk. Serve them with a dollop of honey or a spread of your favorite jam for an extra touch of sweetness. For a well-rounded breakfast, consider pairing them with a fresh fruit salad or a yogurt parfait.
