This deliciously moist Banana and Oat Muffin recipe will be your new favorite. With the sweetness of ripe bananas, a touch of brown sugar, and vanilla, these light and fluffy muffins will be your go-to muffin recipe!
Use two bowls, one for dry and one for wet ingredients.
In one of the bowls, combine flour, oats, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Using a whisk or fork, blend all the ingredients.
In the second bowl, add milk, vanilla extract, melted butter, beaten egg, and mashed bananas.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix just until incorporated.
Be sure not to overmix, as this will toughen the muffins when baked.
Baking times
Prepare the muffin tins with liners or ensure the pan is well-greased before adding the Banana and oat muffin batter.
Since muffins tend to bake over the top of the muffin liners, grease or spray the flat surface of the muffin pan.
Fill the muffin cups 3/4 of the way; the batter should yield enough for 12 muffins.
Top each muffin with a sprinkling of turbinado sugar and chopped walnuts.
For regular muffins, bake 21-25 minutes.
For mini muffins, bake 15-18 minutes.
To check doneness, insert a clean toothpick, muffins will be baked when it comes out clean.
Allow to cool and enjoy!
Notes
TO FREEZE: Allow the muffins to cool completely and then arrange them flat in a zip-type plastic bag. I arrange them top-side up and freeze them on a tray or place the bag directly on the shelf of the freezer. I do this so they don't stick together. Once they are frozen, you can move them to a more convenient freezer area.To defrost a muffin, place it on a microwave-safe plate and microwave for 30 seconds. The muffin should be warmed through and ready to enjoy. If you don't have a microwave, they defrost in about 30 minutes on the counter.
