Ingredients
Amounts are rounded when scaled. Tick items as you gather them.
Directions
- Heat the oven to 375°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
- Whisk the oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl.
- In another bowl mix the mashed bananas, egg, milk and melted butter.
- Fold the wet into the dry until just combined. Divide among the cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Bake 18 to 22 minutes, until a toothpick in the centre comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool 5 minutes in the tin, then on a rack.
Tips
- The darker the banana skin, the sweeter the muffin.
- Do not overmix; it makes muffins tunnel and turn dense.
Storing
Keep airtight at room temperature 2 days, refrigerate up to 5 days or freeze up to 3 months.
Swaps
Use any milk you like. Chopped walnuts or chocolate chips fold in well, but mind allergies.
