Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Baking soda
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 1.25 cups Mashed bananas
- 0.5 cups Brown sugar
- 0.5 cups Whole milk
- 0.25 cups Vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 Large egg
- 0.5 cups Chopped walnuts (optional)
- 0.5 cups Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups with baking spray.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, brown sugar, milk, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and egg until smooth and well combined.
Make a well in the center of the dry ingredients, then pour in the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
If using, fold in the chopped walnuts and/or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 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.
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.
Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
