Quick & Easy Banana-Oat Muffins

This recipe is one that Melanie had on the side to try. Well, we tried them... they were pretty good. However, I would say with kids it takes more than 5 minutes to prepare.

Leftover muffins can be frozen for up to two weeks. Prep: 5 minutes; Cook: 16 minutes.

Yield

Makes 9 muffins (serving size: 1 muffin)

Ingredients

  • 2 mashed ripe bananas (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup fat-free milk
  • 3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2/3 cup white whole-wheat flour (such as King Arthur) or whole-wheat flour
  • 1/2 cup quick-cooking oats
  • 1/4 cup sugar
  • 1 3/4 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray

Preparation

1. Preheat oven to 375ยบ.

2. Combine bananas and next 4 ingredients (through vanilla) in a medium bowl; mix well, and set aside.

3. Lightly spoon flour into a dry measuring cup and level with a knife. Whisk together flour and next 5 ingredients (through salt) in a small bowl.

4. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture until they are just combined.

5. Spray 9 muffin cups with cooking spray (or use paper liners), and spoon 1/3 cup batter into each cup (cups will be full).

6. Bake 16 minutes or until a wooden pick inserted in center comes out clean.
