Amu’s Banana Oatmeal Muffins [Recipes]

In this recipe I literally baked what my mama gave me!

Whenever I go to visit my mom (or Amu as I like to call her), she hands me a huge bag of groceries which always inevitably includes a bunch of bananas. I can never finish these bananas in time so I had to figure out how to put them to good use. I have come up with a fool-proof and flexible recipe that will provide you with delicious banana muffins! You’ll have a quick and easy breakfast or snack!

Ingredients:

• 1 1/2 cups of all-purpose flour
• 1 cup oats
• 1/2 cup of sugar
• 2 teaspoons of baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon of salt
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1 egg
• 3/4 cup milk
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup mashed bananas (about two bananas give or take)
• 1/2 cup of chocolate chips (optional but recommended)
• 1/2 cup of chopped walnuts (optional but recommended)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. Mix all your dry ingredients in a bowl (except chocolate chips and walnuts).
3. Mix all your wet ingredients in a bowl.
4. Stir the flour mixture into the banana mixture.
5. Fold in your walnuts and chocolate chips – these add great texture to your muffins so I highly recommend it!
6. Line a 12 cup muffin pan with paper baking cups and pour batter evenly among the cups.
7. Bake at 400 degrees for 18 minutes or until lightly browned.

All done! Now you too can bake what your Amu gave you!

Just me and my Amu.
