BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• To make the muffin batter, whisk the egg and oil together in a large mixing bowl.
• Add the mashed banana and vanilla extract.
• Whisk in until well-combined.
• Add the oats, flour, sugars, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• Whisk in just until combined.
• Divide the muffin batter between the prepared muffin tin cups.
• To make the topping, stir the oats, sugar, flour, and cinnamon together.
• Mix in the melted butter until combined.
• Divide the topping between the muffin tin cups, and sprinkle over the batter.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS (OR BREAD)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 (350 if you are making a single loaf so the large inside area has time to bake). Spray pan with non-stick spray.
• Mix topping ingredients together. Set aside.
• Combine all dry ingredients (flour, sugar, oatmeal, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and spices). Note: I've used half Splenda mix for the sugar with great results.
• Separately, in a 2 cup measure, combine all liquid ingredients (buttermilk, oil, eggs, vanilla, and banana).
• Pour liquids into dry ingredients. Use a spatula to gently combine.
• Fill 12 muffin tins to the rim (or 36 mini-muffins, or one loaf pan). Sprinkle with topping mixture.
• Bake 375 degrees for 16-18 minutes (12 minutes for mini-muffins and 45 minutes at 350 degrees for a single loaf). Use toothpick test to make sure there's no wet area in the middle.

BANANA OATMEAL MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir together until well combined. Stir in the chocolate chips, if using. Divide the batter among the paper liners. (They will be very full.) Sprinkle with extra oats and cinnamon, if desired.
• Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and the centers feel firm. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and continue cooling on a wire rack.
