Ingredients

1 ½ cups all-purpose flour

¾ cup old fashioned rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking soda

½ teaspoon baking powder

½ teaspoon cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 large eggs

½ cup sugar

½ cup brown sugar

½ cup canola oil (or another flavorless oil, or coconut oil)

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 cup mashed bananas (about 2 large or 3 medium bananas)

1 cup chocolate chips (milk, dark, or a mix—your choice)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F. Line a standard muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add in the oil and vanilla, and whisk again until fully incorporated.
  4. Stir in the mashed bananas until combined.
  5. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir gently with a spoon until just combined—do not overmix.
  6. Fold in the chocolate chips.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full with the batter.
  8. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Stir in chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
  • Skip the chocolate chips for a more traditional muffin.
  • Use gluten-free flour and oats for a gluten-free version.
  • Add chia or flax seeds for added fiber and nutrition.
  • Make mini muffins and reduce bake time to 10–12 minutes.
  • Do not overmix the batter to keep muffins light and moist.
  • Store with a slice of bread in the container to help retain moisture.
