Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare muffin tin by greasing or lining with paper liners.
  2. Mash 2-3 ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl until smooth, leaving small chunks.
  3. Add 1 large egg, 1/3 cup of honey or maple syrup, and 1/4 cup of milk to mashed bananas. Whisk until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 cup of old-fashioned oats, 3/4 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, and a pinch of salt.
  5. Gradually incorporate dry mixture into wet ingredients, folding gently until just combined.
  6. Fold in optional add-ins like 1/2 cup of chopped nuts or chocolate chips if desired.
  7. Scoop batter into muffin tin, filling each cup 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.
  9. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
