Simple and healthy banana oatmeal muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2–3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted butter
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease or line a 12-cup muffin tin.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Stir in the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, vegetable oil or melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a sweeter muffin, you can add 1/4 cup of brown sugar to the dry ingredients.
  • You can add 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips to the batter for extra flavor and texture.
  • Ensure your bananas are very ripe for the best flavor and sweetness.
