Ingredients
  

Muffin Mixture
  • 1 cup rolled oats adds heartiness and fiber for a filling snack
  • ½ cup milk use any type, or substitute with almond or oat milk for a dairy-free option
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup choose honey for a floral sweetness, or maple syrup for a unique flavor twist
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil coconut oil gives a rich taste, while vegetable oil keeps it neutral
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the muffins rise for that perfect fluffy texture
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda works with the acidity of the bananas to create lift
  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon enhances flavor with a warm spice touch
  • ¼ teaspoon salt balances sweetness and enhances overall flavor
  • ¼ cup chopped nuts or chocolate chips optional, add your favorite for extra texture and delight

Equipment

  • muffin tin

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease with a bit of oil.
  2. Mash the 2 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth with a few lumps.
  3. Combine the wet ingredients: add 1 cup of rolled oats, ½ cup of milk, ½ cup of honey (or maple syrup), and ¼ cup of vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil) into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Mix well.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, ½ teaspoon of cinnamon, and ¼ teaspoon of salt.
  5. Pour the dry mixture into the bowl with the wet ingredients and gently stir until just combined. If adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in now.
  6. Divide the muffin batter among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
