Ingredients
  

Muffins
  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1/4 cup melted coconut oil or other neutral oil
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing bowls
  • Whisk
  • Spatula

Method
 

  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 bowl, mash the ripe bananas. Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and egg. Whisk until well combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to mix.
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

You can add a handful of chocolate chips or chopped nuts to the batter for extra flavor and texture. Store leftover muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
