Ingredients

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 0.5 teaspoon baking soda
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 3 whole ripe bananas (mashed)
• 0.5 cup brown sugar
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter (melted)
• 1 whole egg (lightly beaten)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 0.25 cup milk
• 0.75 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Stir well to mix the dry ingredients evenly.

Step 3

In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth. Add the brown sugar, melted butter, beaten egg, vanilla extract, and milk. Mix until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently fold the two together until just combined, being careful not to overmix.

Step 5

Fold in the chocolate chips until evenly distributed throughout the batter.

Step 6

Using a spoon or a scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.

Step 7

Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with only a few moist crumbs.

Step 8

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

Step 9

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