Follow this simple recipe to bake moist, flavorful muffins featuring ripe banana, hearty oats, and sweet chocolate chips. This recipe is easy to make in one bowl.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until combined.
  4. Add the eggs and vanilla extract to the butter mixture and whisk until smooth.
  5. Stir in the mashed bananas and milk until just combined.
  6. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are acceptable.
  7. Gently fold in the chocolate chips.
  8. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  9. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  10. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a healthier version, substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour.
  • If your bananas are not very ripe, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup to the wet ingredients for extra sweetness.
  • To make these muffins gluten-free, use certified gluten-free oats and a 1-to-1 gluten-free flour blend instead of all-purpose flour.
  • For taller muffins, fill the cups almost to the top and bake at 425 degrees Fahrenheit for the first 5 minutes, then reduce the temperature to 375 degrees Fahrenheit for the remaining baking time.
