These easy one-bowl banana oat breakfast muffins are quick, wholesome, and perfect for busy mornings. Made with simple pantry staples, they’re moist, tender, and sturdy enough to grab and go.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • ¼ cup milk (any kind)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
  • 3 tablespoons coconut oil or unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Optional: ½ cup chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, dried cranberries, or blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas with a fork or potato masher until mostly smooth with a few small lumps.
  3. Add the egg, milk, honey or maple syrup, melted coconut oil or butter, and vanilla extract. Stir until well combined.
  4. Sprinkle the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt over the wet mixture. Stir gently until just combined. Fold in any optional mix-ins if using.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes to allow the oats to absorb liquid.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Remove from the oven and let cool in the tin on a wire rack for 5 minutes, then transfer muffins directly to the rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Let the batter rest for 5-10 minutes before baking to allow oats to hydrate for a more tender texture. For best results, use very ripe bananas with brown spots. Muffins can be frozen for up to 3 months.
