These flourless muffins are made in one bowl using oats and ripe bananas, offering a quick, wholesome breakfast or snack option with a soft, chewy texture and natural sweetness.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 medium ripe bananas
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 2 large eggs (room temperature)
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup (120ml) milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • Optional add-ins: ½ cup (75g) chopped walnuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Position the oven rack in the center and grease your muffin tin or line with silicone cups.
  2. Add 2 cups (180g) rolled oats to your blender. Pulse for about 30 seconds until the oats become a fine, flour-like powder.
  3. Add 3 ripe bananas, 2 large eggs (room temperature), ½ cup (120ml) milk, 1 tsp vanilla extract, and ½ tsp salt to the blender. Blend for 1 to 2 minutes until smooth and creamy.
  4. Add 2 tsp baking powder and 1 tsp cinnamon to the blender. Pulse a few times to mix evenly.
  5. Pour the batter into a bowl and gently fold in ½ cup (75g) optional add-ins if using.
  6. Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Check with a toothpick inserted in the center; it should come out clean or with a few crumbs.
  8. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

Use very ripe bananas for best sweetness and moisture. Blend oats thoroughly to replace flour. Avoid overmixing after adding baking powder to prevent tough muffins. If batter is too thick, add a splash more milk carefully. Silicone muffin liners help with easy release and cleanup. For vegan option, replace eggs with flax eggs (1 tbsp ground flaxseed + 3 tbsp water per egg, set for 5 minutes).
