Introduction:
Banana oatmeal muffins are not only delicious but also nutritious. They make a great breakfast or snack option because they are packed with fiber and provide a good amount of energy. In this recipe, we will guide you through the simple steps to make these moist and flavorful muffins.
Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of salt
- Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts for added flavor and texture
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease with cooking spray.
2. In a medium-sized bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the melted butter, brown sugar, egg, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all the ingredients are combined.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in dense muffins.
4. If desired, add the optional chocolate chips or nuts to the batter, and gently fold them in.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
7. Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
8. Enjoy your homemade banana oatmeal muffins! They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
