These healthy banana oatmeal muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and packed with wholesome oats, making them a perfect guilt-free snack or breakfast option with no added sugar.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1½ cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135g)
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour (120g) (all-purpose flour can be used)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) (can substitute dairy-free yogurt)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, 60g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line your muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together evenly.
  3. In a separate bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with some small lumps.
  4. Add eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and whisk until fully combined and smooth.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and gently fold together with a silicone spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Fold in chopped walnuts or pecans if using.
  7. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs and the tops are golden brown and spring back when lightly pressed.
  9. Let the muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Do not overmix the batter to avoid tough muffins. Room temperature eggs and yogurt help with even mixing. Tent muffins with foil if browning too quickly. Use an ice cream scoop for even muffin sizes. Muffins can be stored at room temperature for 2 days, refrigerated for up to a week, or frozen individually.
