Bake these incredibly moist and hearty oatmeal muffins packed with banana flavor. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or a satisfying snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/4 cup milk (any kind)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Set this dry mixture aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Beat in the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Mix in the mashed bananas and milk until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Fold gently with a spatula until just incorporated. A few streaks of flour are fine. Overmixing makes tough muffins.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, substitute 1/4 cup of the butter with applesauce. This recipe works well for meal planning and can be a great alternative to some weight loss programs when enjoyed in moderation.
  • If you want a bakery-style top, sprinkle a little coarse sugar over the batter before baking.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store them in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
