Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed bananas about 2 large
  • ⅔ cup milk use milk of your choice
  • 2 large eggs or check notes for substitutes!
  • 2 tbsp oil anything mild/neutral from vegetable oil to melted coconut oil is fine
  • ¼ cup runny honey
  • 2 cups oats see notes
  • 1 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg optional but so good!
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ⅓ cup dark chocolate chips
  • ⅓ cup chopped walnuts

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a 12 cup muffin tin, or line with silicone liner.
  • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, milk, eggs, oil and honey until fully combined.

Notes

  • Egg replacements: 2 tbsp ground flax + 5 tbsp water (let sit for 5 minutes before adding), or ½ cup extra mashed banana (your muffins will be softer, but still delicious)
  • Oats: I recommend quick oats if you want to skip the overnight soak - you’ll need a couple tablespoons extra because they soak up less liquid. Regular rolled oats work best with an overnight soak. Steel cut oats or instant oats do not work.
  • Honey: A mild, runny honey works best here. You can also use maple syrup instead.
