Banana Oat Muffins

January 2, 2017 by Amber 31 Comments

Banana Oat Muffins are made eggless with simple ingredients like flour, lots of oats, mashed bananas and other basic baking ingredients. 

Banana Oat Muffins took some trial and error to make. I wanted to make a healthy muffin with no butter or flour or eggs. So, tried it with applesauce and then yogurt but ultimately ended up using butter and flour! Go figure- right? You need the butter, it is not a ton but much needed and baking without flour always ends up being a disaster for me. I would rather eat foods that taste good in moderation than eat things that are just edible without any guilt. You can start your morning with one Banana Oat Muffin and a non fat latte for about 200 calories. Not a bad start to the day.

Banana Oat Muffins

Banana Oat Muffins are a perfect breakfast paired with a latte or healthy after school snack. Just enough banana flavor and lots of oats to keep you full. Try to sprinkle some mini chocolate chips on top before cooking too for your daily chocolate fix! My kids love these as a snack popped in the microwave for 10 seconds and with a little butter or peanut butter on top. 

Healthy Oats

Oats are a gluten-free, whole-grain food that can play a big role in a healthy diet. Oats contain loads of fiber, vitamins and minerals that aid in controlling blood sugar, keep you regular and may even help aid in weight loss.

Description

Banana Oat Muffins are made eggless with simple ingredients like flour, lots of oats, mashed bananas and other basic baking ingredients. 


Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter (softened)
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large bananas (over ripe)
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Line or use cooking spray in your muffin pan.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, add softened butter, 2 bananas, 1 cup flour and half cup brown sugar. Using the hand or stand mixer, mix for a minute.
  4. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder and mix another minute.
  5. Lastly, stir in the cup of oats and pour into muffin pan.
  6. Sprinkle a few oats on top to garnish if you please.
  7. Bake for 15 -20 minutes. I find 17 minutes to be perfect for my oven. You want them fully cooked and just beginning to brown on the tops.
  8. Let cool for 10 minutes and enjoy!

    I am going to sound a little crazy, but this recipe has been the biggest blessing to my life! I have been on a weight loss journey this year, and my biggest hurdle has always been muffins with coffee (I own a coffee company so that makes it extra hard! Haha). I have been making these banana oat muffins at least twice a week in the last year and they have helped me stay on track! I have lost 18 pounds and am back to my early 20’s weight. Just wanted you to know all the heart you put into your blog has made a difference to me and my life. It’s easy to feel like your effort and hard work goes unnoticed sometimes, so please know it’s sincerely meant a lot to me. Sending a big cyber hug your way! Shelby

      Congrats on your weight loss! That is amazing and takes so much hard work and dedication to stay on track to make it happen. Finding what “works” for you in your daily routine is what its all about. Thank you for the kind words this morning. You made my day. Keep up on all your hard work!

    The flavor is nice, but found them way too dry for my preference = and only got 11 out of the batter.

      If you make them again, you can try adding some applesauce, yogurt or an extra banana to see if that helps make them more moist to your liking Sophie!

    I made these this morning, substituting coconut oil for the butter and I used whole wheat flour.
    The batter seemed dry when I,was making it so I whisked up a egg and added it in, before the oatmeal,also added 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips they came out great. Considering I used the whole wheat flour.

      I never have much luck with whole wheat flour but will have to try it out this way.

    Lovely recipe, moist and plenty sweet enough. I used xylitol instead of sugar and used only 1/4 cup with a token of brown sugar just in case. I also used 1/2 cup oatbran and 1/2 cup rolled oats.
    They turned out beautifully.

    These are amazing, my new favorite banana muffin recipe. I made a double batch for breakfast this morning- should last us a while! I added some flax seed and pumpkin spice extract. Perfect start to this cool September morning. Thank you!

    These muffins are delicious. I was looking for a simple oat muffin recipe with simple ingredients and after going through a lot of recipes I finally found one that worked. I used my vitamix instead of using the mixer, omitted the vanilla and cinnamon because I was out of them, and added a handful of chocolate chips and coconut flakes! Thank you! I’ll be saving the recipe and making them again!

    I found your recipe on Pinterest and made the muffins this morning. They’re terrific, really delicious and filling. They don’t taste like a boring healthy breakfast at all. My husband will love adding a little peanut butter to his in the mornings.
