Ingredients
Scale
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 cup melted coconut oil or butter
1/2 cup maple syrup or honey
2 large eggs
1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 3 medium bananas)
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup mix-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts (optional)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Mix these dry ingredients together.
In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, eggs, mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
If using, fold in your mix-ins like chocolate chips or walnuts.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
Bake for 18 to 22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Let the oatmeal muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
For the best flavor and texture, use very ripe, spotty bananas.
These muffins freeze well for easy grab and go snack preparation. Cool completely, then store in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
If you prefer a less sweet muffin, reduce the maple syrup to 1/3 cup.
