Ingredients

• 3 large ripe bananas
• 1.5 cups rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 large egg
• 0.5 cup plain Greek yogurt
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, mash the bananas until smooth using a fork or a potato masher.

Step 3

Add the egg, Greek yogurt, melted butter, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas and mix until well combined.

Step 4

In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Step 5

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, folding gently with a spatula until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter will be slightly thick.

Step 6

If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts for added texture and flavor.

Step 7

Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

Step 9

Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 10

Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for longer storage.
