| 1 1/4 cups | Robin Hood oats |
| 1 cup | Old mill oats |
| 2/3 cup | all-purpose flour |
| 1 1/2 cups | granulated sugar |
| 1 tsp | baking powder |
| 1/4 tsp | baking soda |
| 1/4 tsp | salt |
| 1 | egg |
| 2 | bananas |
| 1/3 cup | butter |
| Optional: | nuts |
Instructions:
-
Combine the first 6 dry ingredients (Robin Hood oats, Old mill oats, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt) in a large bowl.
-
Mix the dry ingredients well to ensure even distribution of leavening agents and sweetness.
-
Beat the egg, bananas, and melted butter together in a small bowl until smooth and creamy, ensuring the bananas are thoroughly mashed.
-
Add the banana mixture to the dry ingredients, gently folding them together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can result in tough muffins.
-
Stir the batter just until moistened, ensuring there are no pockets of dry flour remaining. The batter should be thick and lumpy.
-
Stir in nuts, if desired, adding a crunchy texture and nutty flavor to the muffins.
-
Fill greased muffin cups almost to the top with the batter, distributing it evenly among the cups.
-
Bake the muffins in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops spring back when lightly touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
-
Serve the Banana Oat Muffins warm or at room temperature, enjoying them as a delicious breakfast treat, snack, or dessert.
