Instructions
Creating Healthy Banana Oatmeal Muffins is straightforward. Follow these simple steps for delicious results:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
- Mash the Bananas: In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. Set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the milk, honey (or maple syrup), vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk until well-combined.
- Combine Mixtures: Add the wet ingredients to the mashed bananas and stir thoroughly to combine.
- Add Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Gradually add this mixture to the wet ingredients and fold gently until just mixed.
- Optional Add-ins: If you'd like, fold in nuts or chocolate chips for added flavor and texture.
- Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.
- Bake Muffins: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool: Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Following these steps will yield perfectly baked muffins that are moist, flavorful, and oh-so-delicious!
