Instructions
Step-by-Step Guide for Banana Oatmeal Muffins
-
Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures that it's hot and ready when you finish preparing your muffin batter.
-
Prepare the Muffin Tin
Line a muffin tin with liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray. This prevents the muffins from sticking to the tin.
-
Mash the Bananas
Peel the ripe bananas and place them in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or potato masher to mash the bananas until smooth. This will serve as the base for your muffin batter.
-
Add the Rolled Oats:
Measure out 1 cup of rolled oats and add them to the bowl with the mashed bananas. Stir the oats into the bananas until they are well combined. The oats will give your muffins texture and added fiber.
-
Optional: Add Chocolate Chips:
If you'd like your muffins to have a touch of sweetness and extra flavor, add 1/4 cup of chocolate chips to the banana-oat mixture. Fold the chocolate chips into the batter until evenly distributed.
-
Fill the Muffin Cups:
Using a spoon or an ice cream scoop, portion the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. This allows room for the muffins to rise as they bake.
-
Bake the Muffins:
Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the muffins are set and golden brown on top. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin; if it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, the muffins are ready.
-
Cool and Serve:
Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then, transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy your delicious and healthy banana oatmeal muffins as a snack or breakfast treat!
I hope you give this 3-ingredient banana oatmeal muffin recipe a try and let me know what you think. I’m sure you’ll love them as much as I do. Happy baking! 😊
