Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork until smooth and creamy.
Add the instant oatmeal packets, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon to the mashed bananas. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg, milk, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the muffins tender.
Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Enjoy your Banana Instant Oatmeal Muffins as a delicious breakfast or snack on the go!
