Prepare moist, naturally sweet banana oatmeal muffins using a simple one-bowl method. These are great for quick breakfasts or snacks.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats (not instant)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup mix-ins (optional: chocolate chips, blueberries, chopped nuts)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth.
  3. Add the melted oil, maple syrup (or honey), egg, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk these wet ingredients together until combined.
  4. Add the baking soda, cinnamon, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir briefly.
  5. Add the rolled oats and milk to the bowl. Mix everything gently until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. If using, fold in your optional mix-ins.
  7. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  8. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For best results and natural sweetness, use bananas that are heavily spotted or almost black.
  • These muffins freeze well. Place cooled muffins in an airtight, freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or microwave briefly.
  • If you prefer a thicker batter, reduce the milk by one or two tablespoons.
