    WHY YOU’LL LOVE THESE Oatmeal Banana MUFFINS

    Streusel topping. These muffins are topped with a sweet and oatmeal streusel topping, which adds a little crunch.

    Easy to make. This recipe comes together very easily and is all done by hand.

    Moist. The muffin itself is soft, moist, and fluffy. The perfect muffin texture!

    How to Make Oatmeal Banana Muffins

    Preheat oven to 425F and line your muffin pan with 12 liners.

    Making the Streusel Topping

    In a small bowl mix the melted butter, brown sugar, rolled oats, and flour together. Set aside. The streusel will become more crumbly while it sits.

    Making the Muffin Batter

    In a large bowl mash the bananas until there are no large pieces left. Mix in the sugar. Followed by the egg and oil. Mix well to combine.

    In a medium sized bowl whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.

    wet and dry ingredients for the banana muffins

    Dump the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. You want to fold in the dry ingredients and be careful not to over mix (this will result in dry muffins). Once there are no more flour streaks stop mixing. Fold in the rolled oats.

    at in the rolled oats into the muffin batter

    Divide the batter evenly amongst the muffin tins. Evenly sprinkle the streusel mixture on top of each muffin tin.

    Bake in the oven for 5 minutes at 425F then reduce oven temperature to 350F and bake for another 15 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the muffin comes out clean. Let them cool to room temperature in the pan before removing.

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    STORING THE MUFFINS

    These muffins are best eaten on the day you bake them. After that the topping becomes moist and no longer crunchy. You can store these muffins at room temperature for up to three days.

    DO I NEED TO BRING MY EGG TO ROOM TEMPERATURE?

    Yes you do. Room temperature eggs break down easier in the batter. This means less mixing, which gives you a fluffy moist muffin. If you forget to take your egg out of the fridge (I always do) just run your egg under warm water for a few minutes.

    WHAT DOES SPOONED AND LEVELLED FLOUR MEAN?

    Spooned and levelled flour refers to the way of measuring flour. To properly measure flour you should scoop spoonfuls of flour into your measuring cup and then level off the access by scraping with a knife. Scooping the measuring cup directly into your flour causes the flour to compress and you will get more flour than the recipe calls for.

    Can I Use Quick Oats?

    No, you want to be sure to use rolled oats, also called old fashioned oats. These give the best texture.

      Turned out amazing! Sweet and rich and not dry at all. Was very pleased on how accurate the baking time was. They were perfect right at 15 minutes. Can’t wait to have some for breakfast with a drizzle of honey and a dash of cinnamon <3

      These muffins are so tasty!! I especially love the crunch of the streusel topping. I don't think I can go back to plain banana muffins, this will definitely be my go to banana muffin recipe from now on!

      These muffins are utterly delicious and so simple to make. I added a few chocolate chips to the kids version and they loved it. This is going to be my go to recipe for banana muffins going forward.

      Love this recipe and it’s a hit with family and friends! I’m a huge fan of pecans so I add a bit to the streusel. They come out great everytime!

      I baked this as per directions but the muffins had a sour taste in the lower half. i used frozen bananas and added 2 table spoons chia seeds. Any idea how the flavour can be sour??

        Hi,

        I'm sorry I'm not sure why that happened. I've baked these muffins a dozen times and I have never found them to be sour. I have also never added chia seeds to the muffins. It could be that maybe your eggs or another ingredient was passed its prime?

      I’m not a banana bread/muffin eater but I had several bananas I needed to use before they went bad. Found this recipe and they were delicious light and fluffy.
      I made some alterations to the recipe: 2/3 C sugar instead of 3/4 C. Used some cacao dulcey
      Disks and walnuts.
