These chocolate banana oatmeal muffins are moist, fluffy, and packed with natural sweetness from ripe bananas and hearty oats. Perfect for breakfast, snack time, or dessert!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (or substitute with whole wheat flour)
  • 1/4 cup cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy alternatives like almond milk)
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly.
  2. Peel and mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth using a fork or potato masher.
  3. Add the egg, milk, and vegetable oil to the mashed bananas. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, flour, cocoa powder, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
  5. Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
  6. Gently fold in the chocolate chips, ensuring they’re evenly distributed.
  7. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
