Banana Oatmeal Muffins

If you have over-ripe bananas that no one wants to touch, this is a great recipe to make and have for those ‘grab-n-go’ mornings. You know those mornings, where you need to eat something, but there is no time to make breakfast for yourself or your family.

This is also a great freezer recipe.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins
adapted from Cooking Light

• 1 ½ cups flour
• ⅔ cup sugar
• 1 ½ teaspoon baking powder
• ¼ baking soda
• ¼ teaspoon salt
• ¾ regular oats
• 1 cup mashed ripe bananas – about 2-3
• ⅓ cup buttermilk (don’t have buttermilk – add 1 tsp white vinegar to ⅓ cup regular milk, I use 2%, and let the milk sit for a few minutes)
• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• ½ cup chopped pecans or walnuts, optional
• cooking spray

In a large bowl, combine the dry ingredients: flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and oats. Stir with a spoon or wisk to mix together.

In a separate bowl, combine the bananas, milk, oil, vanilla extract and eggs. Add the dry ingredients. Stir until just moist.

Pour batter into a 12-muffin pan that has been coated with cooking spray. If desired, sprinkle muffin batter with the nuts.

Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 25 minutes or when a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean. Cool slightly in pan on wire rack. Remove from pan and cool completely on wire rack.

Makes 12 muffins.
