Banana oat muffins are a delicious, healthy, and quick treat that you can make in no time. Perfect for breakfast or a snack, these muffins combine the natural sweetness of bananas with the hearty texture of oats. Best of all, they require minimal ingredients and simple steps.
Ingredients
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Add the honey, egg, vanilla, and milk, and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Do not overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before removing from the tin.
Tips and Variations
- Add nuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
