Print Recipe

These muffins combine ripe bananas, oats, and Greek yogurt for a moist, naturally sweet treat with no refined sugar. Perfect for breakfast or a wholesome snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 very ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat or 2%)
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • Optional add-ins: 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, dark chocolate chips, or shredded coconut

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone or paper liners, or lightly grease each cup.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large mixing bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still slightly chunky.
  3. Add the Greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey to the mashed bananas. Mix gently until just combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  5. Fold the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients with a spatula until just combined. If using, fold in nuts or chocolate chips now.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, checking at 18 minutes by inserting a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs, they are done.
  8. Cool the muffins in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins. Use very ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs and yogurt blend better. Cool muffins completely to prevent sogginess. For vegan or dairy-free options, substitute Greek yogurt with unsweetened coconut yogurt and eggs with flax eggs.
