Name: 3-Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Muffins
Ingredients: Ripe Bananas (3 large): The star of the show! Ripe bananas provide natural sweetness, moisture, and that signature banana flavor. Look for bananas with plenty of brown spots – the riper, the sweeter and easier they are to mash, resulting in a more flavorful and moist muffin.; Rolled Oats (3 cups): These provide the structure and heartiness of the muffins. Rolled oats, also known as old-fashioned oats, are preferred for their texture. They offer a lovely chewiness and a subtle nutty flavor that complements the banana perfectly. Ensure they are not instant oats, as those are too finely processed and won’t yield the desired texture.; Eggs (2 large): Eggs act as the binding agent in this recipe, holding the muffins together and adding richness. They contribute to the moistness and provide a slight lift, ensuring the muffins aren’t too dense. Large eggs are recommended for the right balance in the recipe.

Instructions

Preparing these 3-Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Muffins is so straightforward, it’s almost unbelievable. Follow these simple steps and you’ll have a batch of warm, delicious muffins in no time!

Preheat Your Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is heating up, prepare your muffin tin. You can use muffin liners for easy removal and cleanup, or grease the muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray or butter to prevent sticking. If using liners, place them into each cup of the muffin tin.
Mash the Bananas: In a large mixing bowl, peel and place your ripe bananas. Using a fork or a potato masher, mash the bananas until they are mostly smooth with just a few small lumps remaining. Don’t over-mash them into a complete puree; a little texture is nice. The riper the bananas, the easier they will mash and the sweeter your muffins will be.
Add Eggs and Oats: Crack the eggs directly into the bowl with the mashed bananas. Then, add the rolled oats to the bowl.
Combine the Ingredients: Using a spoon or spatula, gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Overmixing can lead to tougher muffins. Mix until the oats are evenly distributed throughout the banana and egg mixture, and no large pockets of dry oats remain. The batter will be fairly thick and somewhat sticky, which is normal.
Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups. Fill each muffin cup about two-thirds to three-quarters full. This will allow the muffins to rise nicely without overflowing.
Bake to Golden Perfection: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. The muffins should be golden brown on top and spring back lightly when gently pressed. Baking time may vary slightly depending on your oven, so it’s always best to check for doneness with a toothpick.
Cool and Enjoy: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely. This prevents the bottoms from becoming soggy. However, if you can’t wait, they are absolutely delicious warm straight from the oven! These muffins are wonderful enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
