Description
These healthy oatmeal muffins are a delicious and nutritious breakfast option packed with fiber and flavor.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup milk (or almond milk)
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium bananas)
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins or chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
- Add honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, vanilla extract, and mashed bananas to the oat mixture. Stir until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, mix together the baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
- Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and stir until just combined. If using, fold in the walnuts and raisins (or chocolate chips).
- Pour the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Allow the muffins to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Notes
- These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- You can freeze the muffins for up to 3 months. Just thaw them at room temperature or heat in the microwave before serving.
