Banana Oat Muffins

Thanks for sharing!

Whether you are looking for a grab and go breakfast or something for a leisurely weekend brunch, these banana oat muffins are perfect!

       Tender muffins loaded with banana and oatmeal are a snap to make.  This easy recipe comes together in no time. They are a great way to incorporate some fruit and oatmeal into your breakfast or snack repertoire.

     Muffins are such a versatile food. They can be a great make ahead grab and go breakfast for busy mornings.

      They can also be a great sweet addition to a nice brunch. Plus muffins travel super well so they are a great make and take for a hostess gift or as an easy munchy for new parents.

       Not only do they whip up quickly, but they freeze well too. So you can make a big batch now and pull them out as you need them.

      15 or 20 seconds in the microwave is all that will stand between you and a nice warm muffin any time you want! Trust me, you’ll want to always have muffins in the freezer once you get started!

     I originally shared this recipe back in 2015.  My mother-in-law was getting married so there was lots of extra family in town.

      These fabulous muffins were a great way to have something quick to give them no matter what schedule we were trying to keep.  I have whipped them up several times since, but finally decided to snap some new pictures.

     Here is the original post from 2015:

   With Nana’s wedding last weekend, we had some extra bodies in and out of the house.  I wanted to have a quick grab and go breakfast available to anyone who was hungry, but I didn’t have a ton of time to put things together.

    So as I was getting ready for the luncheon, I threw a batch of these in the oven.  They are healthy enough you don’t have to feel bad about eating one, but still taste really good!
 

    You might think the whole wheat flour and oatmeal would make for a denser muffin, but you would be wrong.  These came out light, moist and delicious!

    The ingredient list looks a little long, but I had them in the oven in less than ten minutes.  Breakfast was ready by the time everyone else woke up!

    So now I think we should all bake a few batches of muffins to get our freezer stash going. Then we can have a variety to choose from each morning.

      I would suggest trying some sourdough chocolate chip oatmeal muffins as well. They have lots of great reviews on Pinterest and they are another healthier option that taste like a treat.

     Oooh, or maybe the oatmeal raisin sourdough muffins would be a good choice as well.  What are your favorite kinds of muffins?
