Ingredients

• 1.25 cups whole wheat flour
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoons baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 0.25 teaspoons salt
• 3 medium ripe bananas
• 0.5 cups unsweetened almond milk (or other plant-based milk)
• 0.25 cups maple syrup
• 0.25 cups coconut oil (melted)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.5 cups optional mix-ins (e.g., dairy-free chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the tin with coconut oil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole wheat flour, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to combine, then set aside.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth. Add the almond milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract. Mix well to form a uniform wet mixture.

Step 4

Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.

Step 5

If using optional mix-ins like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit, fold them into the batter now.

Step 6

Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with just a few moist crumbs attached.

Step 8

Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Step 9

Serve the muffins warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
