Simple and healthy banana oatmeal muffins.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

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, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, mash the bananas. Stir in the applesauce, honey or maple syrup, milk, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. If using, fold in the chopped nuts.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. 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 an extra tablespoon of honey or maple syrup.
  • You can substitute whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour for a heartier muffin.
  • Add in a handful of blueberries or chocolate chips for extra flavor.
