Make incredibly soft, moist banana oatmeal muffins using just one bowl. These healthy muffins are naturally sweetened with ripe bananas and are perfect for quick breakfasts or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or vegetable oil
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 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 it well.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk these dry ingredients together.
  3. In a separate bowl, mix the mashed bananas, maple syrup, melted oil, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Add the milk. Stir everything together just until combined. Do not overmix. This is your one bowl method.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups. Fill each cup about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For extra sweetness or texture, fold in 1/2 cup of chocolate chips or chopped walnuts before dividing the batter.
  • These banana oatmeal muffins freeze well. Cool completely, then store in an airtight, freezer-safe bag for up to three months.
  • If you do not have maple syrup, you can substitute it with an equal amount of brown sugar, though the texture may be slightly less moist.
