  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 12 muffins

Ingredients

3 large ripe bananas, mashed

1 ½ cups whole wheat flour

½ cup rolled oats

½ cup granulated sugar

¼ cup unsalted butter, melted

½ cup Greek yogurt

2 large eggs

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: chopped walnuts or chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with muffin liners.

  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients: In a medium bowl, whisk together the whole wheat flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.

  • Prepare the Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine mashed bananas, melted butter, Greek yogurt, eggs, and vanilla extract. Mix well.

  • Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Be careful not to overmix to ensure the muffins stay light and fluffy.

  • Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in chopped walnuts or chocolate chips for extra flavor and texture.

  • Fill the Muffin Tin: Divide the batter evenly into the muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

  • Bake the Muffins: Bake for 20-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  • Cool: Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Variations: Add-ins like dried fruit, chocolate chips, or nuts can enhance the flavor and texture.

  • Vegan Option: Replace the eggs with a flaxseed or chia egg (1 tablespoon flaxseed or chia seeds mixed with 3 tablespoons water) and use a non-dairy yogurt.

  • Sweetener Alternatives: Swap granulated sugar with honey, maple syrup, or coconut sugar for a more natural sweetener.
