Print Recipe

These muffins are quick, healthy, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with ripe bananas and oats, they offer a moist, soft texture with natural sweetness and a satisfying chew.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats (150g)
  • ½ cup oat flour (50g)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar, packed (50g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt (120g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil (60ml)
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, mini chocolate chips, dried cranberries or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease your muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl with a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a little chunky, about 2 minutes.
  3. Add the beaten eggs, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and oil to the mashed bananas. Stir gently until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together rolled oats, oat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon if using.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture in batches, folding gently with a spatula until thick but spoonable. Add a splash of milk or water if too dry.
  6. Fold in optional mix-ins like nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit if desired.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan before transferring to a wire rack.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking to allow oats to absorb moisture. Toss nuts or chocolate chips in oat flour before folding in to prevent sinking. Muffins freeze well for up to 3 months; thaw overnight or warm before eating.
