Instructions
-
Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the muffins bake evenly and rise beautifully.
-
Prepare the muffin pan: Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or line with paper muffin liners. This helps to prevent the muffins from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
-
Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, brown sugar, baking powder, and baking soda. These dry ingredients form the base of your muffins and will help them rise and become fluffy.
-
Combine wet ingredients: In a separate bowl, stir together the quick oats and plain yogurt. Then, add the mashed banana, egg, and oil. Mix everything thoroughly until combined. The banana adds natural sweetness and moisture, while the yogurt keeps the muffins tender.
-
Incorporate wet into dry ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just moistened. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to dense muffins.
-
Fill the muffin pan: Spoon the muffin batter evenly into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.
-
Bake the muffins: Place the muffin pan into the preheated oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes. You’ll know they’re done when a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs.
-
Cool and serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes in the pan. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
