Equipment

  • Oven

Ingredients
  

Optional Enhancers:

  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tbsp pure maple syrup
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup dark chocolate chunks
  • 1/2 cup fresh blueberries
  • 1/3 to 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp Greek yogurt

Main Ingredients:

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 2 medium very ripe bananas
  • 1 tbsp milk or water
  • 1/2 tsp fresh baking powder

Instructions
 

Step 1: Preheat your Oven

  • Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). This step ensures that your muffins bake evenly and rise properly.

Step 2: Prepare the Oats

  • In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats with baking powder. This helps distribute the leavening agent evenly.

Step 3: Mash the Bananas

  • In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Leave a few lumps for texture if you like. They should look like banana puree.

Step 4: Mix in the Wet Ingredients

  • Add in the milk or water, vanilla extract, and Greek yogurt to the mashed bananas. Stir well to incorporate the ingredients fully.

Step 5: Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures

  • Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the oats. Stir everything together gently until just combined—avoid overmixing!

Step 6: Add Optional Enhancers

  • Now’s the time to fold in any optional ingredients like chocolate chunks or nuts. Be creative!

Step 7: Fill the Muffin Tin

  • Line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray. Use a scoop or ladle to fill each cup about 3/4 full.

Step 8: Bake

  • Place your muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Step 9: Cool and Enjoy

  • Once baked, let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Ripe Bananas: Use very ripe bananas. The browner, the better! They'll have a stronger flavor and sweetness.
  • Don’t Overmix: When combining wet and dry ingredients, mix until just combined. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins.
  • Customize: Feel free to incorporate spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a different flavor twist.
  • Baking Time: Keep an eye on your muffins as they bake. Ovens can vary, so check for doneness a minute or two early.
  • Storage: These muffins freeze wonderfully. Just wrap them individually in plastic wrap and store them in a freezer bag.
