Ingredients
- 2 –3 ripe bananas about 1 cup mashed
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup oil or applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup milk

- 1 cup flour all-purpose or whole wheat
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 tsp cinnamon optional
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips optional
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin pan with paper liners.
- Mash bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
- Add eggs, oil (or applesauce), honey, vanilla, and milk. Mix well.
- Add oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until just combined.
- Fold in chocolate chips or nuts if using.
- Divide batter into muffin cups (fill ¾ full).
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, until a toothpick comes out clean.

- For a lighter version, replace oil with applesauce.
- Let the batter rest 5 minutes so the oats soften.
