Make these incredibly soft, One-Bowl Moist Banana Oatmeal Muffins. Naturally sweetened with ripe bananas, these are the ultimate healthy breakfast or make-ahead snack. Cleanup is simple.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

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, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients together briefly.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, melted oil, maple syrup (or honey), eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of dry ingredients are fine.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra moisture, you can add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips to the batter.
  • These muffins freeze well. Cool them completely, then store them in an airtight, freezer-safe bag for up to three months. Thaw overnight on the counter or warm briefly in the microwave.
  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture in this recipe.
