Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chopped walnuts or chocolate chips.
- Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- For added flavor, try mixing in 1/2 cup of shredded coconut or dried fruit such as raisins or cranberries.
- Substitute the bananas with applesauce for a different flavor profile or to make the muffins even more moist.
