Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned oats or rolled oats
  • 1 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of ground nutmeg

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 whole egg
  • ¼ cup vegetable oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ½ cups ripe bananas, mashed (about 3–4 bananas)

Topping

  • ½ cup old fashioned oats
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 2 tablespoons melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it’s hot and ready when your batter is prepared.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until evenly mixed.
  3. Mix Wet Ingredients. In a separate smaller bowl, beat the egg, oil, and vanilla extract together until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl and stir gently until just combined. The batter will still be somewhat dry at this stage.
  5. Add Mashed Bananas. Fold the mashed bananas into the batter carefully until all the dry ingredients are moistened and incorporated, creating a thick batter.
  6. Prepare Muffin Tin. Lightly spray a muffin tin with nonstick spray or line with paper muffin liners. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups.
  7. Make Topping. In a small bowl, mix together the oats, cinnamon, brown sugar, and melted butter until crumbly. Sprinkle this topping evenly over each muffin.
  8. Bake Muffins. Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  9. Cool and Serve. Allow muffins to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • Use very ripe bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture in the muffins.
  • You can substitute half of the all-purpose flour with whole wheat flour for added fiber.
  • For a gluten-free version, replace the oats and flour with certified gluten-free alternatives.
  • If you prefer less sweet muffins, reduce the sugar slightly or use a sugar substitute.
  • These muffins freeze well; store in an airtight container or freezer bag for up to 3 months.
