Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (about 135g)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (60g) or gluten-free flour blend
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt (120g) or dairy-free coconut yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease your mini muffin tin with non-stick spray or line it with mini muffin liners.
  2. Add the oats to your blender and pulse for about 20-30 seconds until they reach a flour-like consistency with some texture.
  3. To the blended oats, add the mashed bananas, eggs, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Blend for 30-40 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  5. Pour the dry ingredients into the blender with the wet ingredients and pulse 3-4 times just to combine, keeping some texture.
  6. Pour the batter into the mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
  7. Bake for 12-15 minutes, checking at 12 minutes with a toothpick; it should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Do not overblend after adding dry ingredients to avoid dense, gummy muffins. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Room temperature eggs and yogurt blend better. Mini muffins bake faster than regular size; check at 12 minutes. Cooling muffins before removing helps prevent breakage. Optional add-ins include raisins or mini chocolate chips folded in after blending.
