Ingredients
- Ingredients
- 4 large ripe bananas mashed
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Generously grease a mini muffin pan.
- Mash the bananas: Add the ripe bananas to a large mixing bowl and mash until mostly smooth.
- Combine ingredients: Add the rolled oats and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is evenly combined and the oats are coated with the banana mixture.
- Add mix-ins: If desired, gently fold in chocolate chips, nuts, raisins, cinnamon, or your favorite additions.
- Fill the pan: Spoon the mixture into the prepared mini muffin cups, filling them nearly to the top. These muffins don't rise much.
- Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes, or until the muffins are firm and lightly golden around the edges.
- Cool: Let them cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then carefully transfer them to a wire rack.
- Serve: Enjoy warm or completely cooled as a breakfast or snack.
Notes
- Use very ripe bananas with plenty of brown spots for the best natural sweetness and flavor.
- The mixture is naturally thick because there is no flour, egg, or baking powder.
- Grease the mini muffin pan well because the muffins can stick to paper liners.
- Don't expect these to have the fluffy texture of traditional muffins; they're naturally hearty and chewy.
- If your bananas are unusually small, you may need an additional banana to achieve the right moist consistency.
