Banana oat muffins are the perfect, one bowl banana muffin recipe. You will love the texture, flavors, and simplicity of this recipe. It’s made from staple pantry ingredients and is ready in 30 minutes or less. That’s a win for me!

I am so excited to bring you another staple muffin recipe. Like the others on my blog, these muffins aren’t overly sweet, making them great for breakfast! If you prefer a sweet, dessert like muffin, then I recommend adding more sugar. My personal preference is a bread like muffin that goes great with coffee, so that is what you’ll find here! This recipe is a great base for other add ins. Chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit are great options!

Ingredient Line Up

Ripe bananas
Large eggs
Unsalted butter
Pure vanilla extract
Brown sugar
Granulated sugar
All purpose flour
Old fashioned oats – These are used in the batter and sprinkled on top before baking!
Baking powder
Baking soda
Salt
Ground cinnamon – This is optional, but I add it to all of my muffins for added warmth.

Tips for Making Banana Oat Muffins

Baking the muffins at a very high temperature for the first five-ten minutes of bake time causes the muffins to have a huge rise. This will create large, gorgeous muffin tops!
In most recipes, you fill cupcake or muffin tins 2/3 full. However, filling the muffin tins all the way will help create large muffin tops.
Do not over mix the muffin batter at any point to prevent your muffins from becoming extremely dense and dry.
Use a cookie scoop to help put the batter into the muffin tin. If you are like me and despise messy baking, then a cookie scoop will help ensure the batter ends up in the liners and not all over the pan.
If using muffin tin liners, then lightly spray them with a bit of nonstick spray to prevent your muffins from sticking to the wrapper.
