Instructions:
-
Preparation: Preheat your oven to 375Β°F (190Β°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners.
-
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the white flour, whole wheat flour, oats, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.
-
Prepare Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, beat the egg until light and fluffy.
-
Mix in Wet Ingredients: To the beaten egg, add olive oil, sugar (or Splenda substitute), milk, and mashed banana. Stir well until thoroughly combined.
-
Incorporate Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just blended. Avoid overmixing to maintain a tender texture.
-
Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tins, filling each about two-thirds full.
-
Bake: Place the muffin tin 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 allow them to cool in the tin for a few minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve: Enjoy these scrumptious Best Banana Muffins warm or at room temperature. They’re perfect for breakfast on the go, a midday snack, or a delightful treat any time of day.
