These Healthy Banana Oatmeal Muffins are a nutritious and delicious treat perfect for breakfast or a snack. Made with ripe bananas, rolled oats, Greek yogurt, and natural sweeteners, they offer a wholesome alternative to traditional muffins.

Easy to prepare and bake, these muffins are a great way to enjoy a guilt-free indulgence packed with fiber and protein.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2-3 bananas)
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice

Optional Mix-Ins

  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips
  • 1/4 cup raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it with non-stick spray to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and uniform.
  3. Add Rolled Oats: Stir in the rolled oats into the wet batter, making sure they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Prepare Dry Ingredients: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt to combine thoroughly.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the dry ingredients into the banana batter until just combined. Be careful to avoid over-mixing to keep the muffins tender.
  6. Add Milk and Optional Mix-Ins: Pour in the milk and mix until the batter is smooth. If you are using optional mix-ins like walnuts, chocolate chips, or raisins, fold them into the batter now.
  7. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake the Muffins: Place the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin; it should come out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve: Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for sweeter and moister muffins.
  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan option.
  • Feel free to customize with your favorite mix-ins such as nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
  • To keep muffins gluten-free, ensure rolled oats are certified gluten-free.
  • Store muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
