Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.
In a large mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the egg, honey, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk together until well combined.
In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
Slowly fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
