Ingredients
  

For the Muffins

  • ½ cup milk any milk works; substitute with almond or oat milk for dairy-free
  • ½ cup honey or maple syrup maple syrup adds a lovely depth of flavor
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil can be replaced with coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract enhances the flavor
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the muffins rise

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with cooking spray.
  • Mash the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add the rolled oats, milk, honey or maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas; stir until well combined.
  • In a separate bowl, mix the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until combined.
  • Fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients gently until just combined; it should remain slightly lumpy.
  • If using, fold in any optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips.
  • Spoon the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, until a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use ripe bananas for the best sweetness. Don't overmix to avoid dense muffins. Customize with your favorite mix-ins.
