How to Make Baked Banana Oat Muffins Recipe
  1. Preheat to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.
  2. In a large bowl, mash ripe bananas until mostly smooth, leaving a few small chunks.
  3. In another bowl, whisk oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until evenly mixed.
  4. Add eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and oil (or melted butter) to the mashed bananas. Mix gently until just combined.
  5. Pour the dry mixture into wet ingredients and stir until just blended. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Divide batter evenly among muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Let muffins rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
