Ingredients

Scale

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas or ½ cup applesauce
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • ¾ cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • ½ tsp baking soda
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon (or nutmeg, optional)

Optional Add-ins

  • ½ cup nuts (chopped walnuts, pecans, almonds)
  • ½ cup dried fruits or fresh/frozen berries
  • ½ cup dark chocolate chips
  • Other seeds or mix-ins as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Wet Ingredients: Start by mashing ripe bananas or measuring out applesauce, then whisk together with eggs, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until smooth. This mixture forms the flavorful, moist base of your Healthy Oatmeal Muffins.
  2. Mix the Dry Ingredients: Combine rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and your chosen spices in a large bowl. Stir well to distribute the leavening agents and seasonings evenly.
  3. Combine Wet and Dry: Gradually fold the wet ingredients into the dry, mixing just until combined. Avoid overmixing to keep your muffins tender and light—small lumps are perfectly fine.
  4. Add Optional Mix-Ins: Fold in any extras like nuts, seeds, dried fruits, or chocolate chips gently to maintain the batter’s texture.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin and Bake: Divide the batter evenly into a greased or lined muffin tin. Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18–22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for sweeter and moister muffins.
  • Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense muffins.
  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats, for better texture.
  • Check baking time early due to oven variations.
  • Let muffins cool in pan on wire rack to prevent sogginess before storing.
