I love eating one of these Healthy Banana Oat Muffins with a cup of coffee every morning. The kids also enjoy it with a cup of milk for breakfast or have them during snack times. They are very delicious and kid friendly. You can also freeze these muffins in a zip lock and thaw them in the fridge the night before you want to eat them.

  • Fill your muffin pan. Spray a muffin pan with a non stick spray and line your muffin tin with muffin paper cups. Fill in 3/4 way through. Top with some crumble mix.
  • Bake. Bake in a pre-heated 375 degree oven for 20-25 minutes.
  • Allow to cool, serve and enjoy!

Recipe notes and tips

  • Make sure to only fill you muffin molds 3/4 full, to allow for expansion.
  • Spritz your muffin molds with non stick spray, using paper cups also helps keep things easy and they look great!
  • Use very ripe medium to large size bananas. The peel should have brown spots and the bananas should mash very easily.
  • If your batter is too dry, add 1-2 tbsp of milk.
  • You can use a small silicone spatula to remove the muffins gently without scratching your muffin pan.
  • These are great for a crowd, bake sale or pot luck.  You can easily double the recipe and make a double batch!
