Ingredients
  

For the Muffins:

  • 2 ripe bananas mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts optional

Instructions
 

Preparation:

  • Preheat the Oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with cooking spray.
  • Prepare the Dry Ingredients (5 minutes): In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.
  • Mix the Wet Ingredients (5 minutes): In another bowl, whisk together mashed bananas, brown sugar, Greek yogurt, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  • Combine Ingredients (5 minutes): Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. Avoid overmixing. Fold in chocolate chips and walnuts if using.
  • Fill the Muffin Tin (5 minutes): Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  • Bake the Muffins (20 minutes): Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
  • Cool and Serve (10 minutes): Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 3 months.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle a few oats or chocolate chips on top of the muffins before baking.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with applesauce for a dairy free option.
