Ingredients
  

Wet Ingredients
  • 2 pieces ripe bananas, mashed Use really ripe bananas for maximum sweetness.
  • 1 cup rolled oats Can be substituted for gluten-free oats.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Adjust sweetness to taste.
  • 1/2 cup yogurt or applesauce Either works well to keep muffins moist.
  • 2 pieces eggs Can be substituted with flax eggs for a plant-based option.
Dry Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon Try adding nutmeg for variation.
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with liners.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), yogurt (or applesauce), and eggs. Mix well.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. If desired, fold in nuts or chocolate chips.
Baking
  1. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin liners, filling each about 2/3 full.
  2. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  3. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing muffins from the tin. Enjoy!
