Warm, wholesome, and perfectly moist, these Oatmeal Banana Muffins are a must-try for a healthy breakfast or snack on-the-go! Packed with hearty rolled oats, naturally sweet ripe bananas, and a touch of honey or maple syrup, these muffins strike the perfect balance between nutrition and indulgence. A hint of cinnamon adds cozy warmth, while the combination of all-purpose flour and oats keeps the texture light yet satisfying. Easy to make in just 35 minutes, this family-friendly recipe is versatile enough to suit dairy and non-dairy preferences, thanks to its customizable milk options. Whether enjoyed fresh from the oven or stored for the week, these muffins are as convenient as they are delicious, making them a top choice for busy, health-conscious mornings.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the muffin cups.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well and set aside.
In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Add the egg, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and oil. Whisk until the wet ingredients are well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter can have a few lumps.
Divide the batter evenly among the 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 about 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week.
