Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 pieces ripe bananas (mashed)
- 1 cup old-fashioned oats
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar (packed)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.75 cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the egg, milk, vanilla extract, and melted butter to the mashed bananas. Stir well until the wet ingredients are fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture, gently stirring until just combined. Do not overmix; some small lumps are okay.
Fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 16-18 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Enjoy these muffins warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
