These warm and hearty Banana Oatmeal Muffins are the perfect healthy snack or breakfast. Made with wholesome ingredients, they’re incredibly easy to make and only require one bowl for minimal clean-up. Packed with nutrients, thanks to the bananas, oats, and whole wheat flour.

Ingredients

2 cups ripe bananas (about 3 large), mashed

2 large eggs

½ cup maple syrup

½ cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk (or any other milk)

1 cup rolled oats

1.5 cups whole wheat pastry flour

1 tsp cinnamon

⅛ tsp nutmeg

1 tsp baking powder

½ tsp baking soda

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone muffin liners or grease the tin.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth.
  3. Add the eggs, maple syrup, and almond milk to the mashed bananas. Mix until well combined.
  4. Add the oats to the banana mixture and let it sit for 4-5 minutes.
  5. Add the whole wheat pastry flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and baking soda to the mixture. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  6. Divide the muffin batter evenly among the muffin cups in the tin.
  7. Place the muffin tin in the oven and immediately reduce the temperature to 350°F (175°C). Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
