Ingredients
1 1/2 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 ripe bananas, mashed
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups.
In a large bowl, combine the old fashioned oats, all-purpose flour, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate medium bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
Add the granulated sugar, egg, vegetable oil, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed bananas. Whisk until combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18 to 20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes.
Transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.
