Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 3/4 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix these dry ingredients well.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the applesauce, maple syrup, mashed bananas, egg, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir everything together until just combined. Do not overmix; a few lumps are fine.
  5. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 prepared muffin cups.
  6. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use very ripe, spotty bananas for the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • These muffins freeze well. Store cooled muffins in an airtight container in the freezer for up to three months.
  • For extra texture, you can fold in 1/4 cup of chopped walnuts or chocolate chips after mixing the batter.
  • If you prefer a slightly less sweet muffin, reduce the maple syrup to 1/3 cup.
