Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup whole wheat flour

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/3 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup coconut oil, melted

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/3 cup dark chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with non-stick spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk together until well combined.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, honey (or maple syrup), applesauce, milk, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Stir until everything is well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; some lumps are okay. If using, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.

          Fill Muffin Tins: Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Enjoy your Sweet Banana Oat Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage.
