Why not try these filling banana oatmeal muffins when you have a craving for banana muffins and have a bunch of overripe bananas to use up! Because of the high fiber from the oatmeal, just one of these muffins for breakfast will keep you fuller for longer. The oatmeal in these really gives them a great light texture.
Banana Oatmeal Muffins
The addition of oatmeal to moist banana muffins makes them even more delicious. Adding texture and fiber to sweet bananas makes this more of a filling grab-and-go type breakfast for those busy mornings.
Oatmeal Tips
If you like chunky oatmeal pieces in your muffins, use the large flake or rolled oats. If not, you can also use quick oats for a smoother texture in the muffins. Do NOT use instant oatmeal however, the oatmeal will dissolve too much. I prefer using larger flake oats in these muffins personally.
What Kind of Bananas Should I Use?
This is the easy part! Most people end up having leftover bananas sitting on their counter that are starting to have dark brown streaks, which means they are perfect for banana bread! The most flavorful and sweet bananas will be brown or well-spotted with brown.
How to Make Banana Oatmeal Muffins
