1. Prepare the Mixture
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
2. Add the Dry Ingredients
Add rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Stir everything together until you get a thick mixture.
If you want extra flavor, add chocolate chips, walnuts, or dried fruit.
3. Fill the Muffin Cups
Grease a muffin tin or place paper liners inside.
Divide the mixture evenly between the cups.
Fill each cup almost to the top because these muffins do not rise as much as traditional ones.
4. Bake Until Golden
Bake for 20–25 minutes until the tops become golden and firm.
Insert a toothpick in the center — if it comes out clean, they are ready.
Allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving.
