Cook Time: 25 mins
Total Time: 45 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 muffins
Ingredients
- 3 ripe bananas
- 1 cup of rolled oats
- 1/2 cup of flaxseed meal
- 1/2 cup of sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup of milk
- 1/4 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, mash the 3 ripe bananas with a fork or a potato masher until smooth. Ensure there are no large chunks left.
- Add the 2 eggs to the mashed bananas and whisk them together until well combined. Then, pour in the 1/2 cup of milk and mix until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dry ingredients: 1 cup of rolled oats, 1/2 cup of flaxseed meal, 1/2 cup of sugar, and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Stir these together until evenly mixed.
- Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense.
- Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full with the batter. This will allow room for the muffins to rise while baking.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Danettes Banana Oat Flaxseed Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for a few days or frozen for longer storage.
Tips
- Choose the Right Bananas: For the best flavor and texture, use bananas that are very ripe with plenty of brown spots. The riper the bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be!
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the wet and dry ingredients, mix just until incorporated. Overmixing can lead to dense muffins instead of light and fluffy ones.
- Customize Your Muffins: Feel free to add in extras like chocolate chips, nuts, or dried fruit for an extra flavor boost. Just be sure to adjust the dry ingredients slightly if you add a lot.
- Check for Doneness: Since oven temperatures can vary, start checking your muffins around the 20-minute mark. They’re done when they’re golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Storage Tips: Store your muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days, or freeze them for longer storage. They make a great grab-and-go snack!
