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.

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!
Just curious with how much butter to use as it just says tablespoons of butter?thank you, can’t wait to make these!!
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 oats
1 cup flour
2 bananas, over ripe
1/2 cup brown sugar
5 cups of sugar?! Really?
HALF a cup of brown sugar is in this recipe.
The batter was way too dry, so I added some applesauce. Yummy!
Good call!
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.
