With just a handful of nutritious ingredients, you can bake up super easy Banana Oatmeal Muffins to share with the kids. For the best flavor and sweetness, use bananas with a lot of brown spots. Bonus: These store so well in the fridge for days!

Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 cups sliced bananas ((about 2 medium, very ripe) )
  • 6 ounces milk ((or plain whole-milk Greek yogurt))
  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 cup chocolate chips ((optional))

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease 10 cups of a standard-size muffin tin.

  2. 2

    Place the oats into a food processor or blender. Grind for about 30 seconds or until they resemble a coarse flour.

  3. 3

    Add the rest of the ingredients except the chocolate chips, if using.

  4. 4

    Blend until very smooth, stopping to scrape down the sides of the blender if needed.

  5. 5

    Divide among 10 muffin cups. You want each cup to be about 3/4 full. Top with chocolate chips if using.

  6. 6

    Bake for 20-22 minutes or until firm to the touch and lightly golden brown around the edges. Let cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack (or just tilt a bit in the pan to let air flow underneath) to cool.

  7. 7

    Serve warm, at room temperature, or chilled.
