Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with cupcake liners.
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the milk, vegetable oil, egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using walnuts, gently fold them into the batter.
Divide the batter evenly among the cupcake liners, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the cupcakes from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cupcakes warm or at room temperature, and enjoy!
