Banana Oat Muffins without Butter
These banana oat muffins are just like banana bread but bake in way less time! Actually, they might even be better than banana bread because they have muffin tops! Try them out and see what you think? The oats make them extra special. The dark chocolate chips are also highly recommended!
Ingredients
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- ⅓ cup vegetable oil
- 2 Tbsp milk
- ½ tsp vanilla
- 1 cup mashed, ripe bananas (2-3 bananas)
- ½ cup old-fashioned oats plus extra for topping muffins
- 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 cup walnuts, chopped plus extra walnut halves for topping muffins
- ¾ cup dark chocolate chips plus extra for topping muffins
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a muffin tin with cupcake liners or parchment baking cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together sugar, egg, vegetable oil, milk, and vanilla until the mixture is combined and smooth. Stir in the mashed bananas and oats.
- In a separate bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt; mix until combined. Add the dry ingredients into the large bowl of wet ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in the walnuts and dark chocolate chips. DO NOT OVER MIX.
- Scoop batter into the lined muffin cups so they are about ⅔ of the way full. Top the batter with a walnut half, dark chocolate chips, and/or sprinkle with plain oats. Bake for about 18 – 20 minutes, or until golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. Remove muffins from the pan and place on a cooling rack to cool.
