Bake moist, naturally sweetened banana oatmeal muffins using whole grains for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1/4 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk the applesauce, maple syrup, eggs, and vanilla extract until combined.
  4. Add the mashed bananas and milk to the wet ingredients and stir until just mixed.
  5. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Mix gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; a few streaks of flour are fine.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups.
  7. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For a gluten-free option, substitute the whole wheat flour with a 1-to-1 gluten-free baking blend.
  • If you prefer a sweeter muffin, add 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts or mini chocolate chips to the batter.
  • Applesauce replaces most of the oil, keeping these muffins moist without added fat.
