Banana oat muffins recipe – These banana Oat muffins are one of the best I have ever tried so far. They are so delicious and moist with a hint of cinnamon. They make a good filling breakfast with a cup of milk. These freeze well and can be a good stand by when you run out of time to prepare breakfast.
Banana oat muffins turn out great, slightly chewy and not very dense. I have used choco chips. You can replace them with chopped chocolate, raisins or walnuts.
I have used choco chips but you can also add the same amount of chopped nuts and raisins.
Preparation
1. In a bowl whisk together oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder, soda, salt and sugar.
2. Next in another large bowl, mash the banana. Then add egg, oil, milk, vinegar and vanilla.
3. Whisk together all of them until well blended.
How to make banana oat muffins
4. Mix the wet and dry ingredients gently along with choco chips. Do not over mix, it makes the muffins harder.
5. Fill the muffin cups till ¾ and bake them for 18 to 20 mins.
6. A skewer inserted in the center must come out clean. Keep an eye on these after 15 minutes. After 5 minutes, transfer to a wire rack.
You can refrigerate and use within 4 to 5 days.
Tips
Oats: You can use rolled oats or quick cook oats in the recipe.
Sweetener: I have used grated palm jaggery here. You can use regular sugar, jaggery or brown sugar.
Bananas: Please use ripe bananas. The more ripe the better the flavor.
Spice powder: We love the cinnamon flavor so I have the same. You can also skip it or use a mix of nutmeg & cinnamon.

The cake came out well but it was not that sweet. I used jaggery but used the same quantity as mentioned.
swasthi says
Hi Megha
Yes muffins won’t be so sweet like cake. If you want you can add more jaggery
Uma says
Hi Swasthi,
Thanks for the recipe! What brand of rolled oats is good? Also can we substitute sugar with jaggery?
Thanks
Uma
swasthi says
Hi Uma
You are welcome
I used Anzen organic oats. I have not tried with jaggery but used palm jaggery. You can dissolve jaggery in milk or buttermilk and filter it and use. I am sure it will work
Uma says
Thanks Swasthi! Will try this out.
Skhat says
Hi Swasthi,
I tried these and they turned out chewy. What must I have done wrong?
swasthi says
Hi Skhat,
Could it be due to the kind of oats… Which one did you use?. Was the top chewy or even the inside? i am sorry asking you so many questions.
Mrudula says

I LOVE these! I use coconut palm sugar often but have never seen it in powdered form. I suppose I could make my own in the blender or food processor. Thanks for a great recipe!
