How to Make Banana Muffins Healthier

Unlike most muffins, these banana oat muffins with yogurt are light and moist without using butter or oil in the recipe.

Crazy but it works!

Did I mention these muffins are also naturally gluten-free? Instead of all-purpose flour, we use regular old-fashioned oats.

Of course, if you have Celiac you’re already checking that they are made in a gluten-free facility.

How to Make Banana Oat Muffins

These oatmeal muffins are filling, delicious and SO easy to make!

Oh, and you can put away the mixer and mixing bowls. Nope, you won’t need them!

These banana oat muffins are made in the blender, so all you have to do is toss in the ingredients, blend, pour, and bake! I know, that’s my favorite part too.

Here’s how it’s done.

Preheat oven to 400 and prep your muffin pan
Place all ingredients (oats, banana, yogurt, eggs, honey, baking powder and baking soda) in a blender and blend until smooth.
Divide the batter in the muffin pan and bake for 20 minutes

So easy, right?

If you haven’t noticed, we have a thing for oats here on the blog. I mean who can resist Blueberry Baked Oatmeal or a Banana Split Oatmeal Bar for breakfast?

The oats give a hearty feel to any breakfast.

What I love about using oats for breakfast, besides the nutritious properties, is that they are an inexpensive meal starter.

Can You Freeze Banana Oatmeal Muffins?

In short, YES! Since these come together so quickly, it’s easy to double the batch and freeze the unbaked muffins for later.

These banana oat muffins can be frozen before baking and after being baked. This way, on extra-busy mornings all you have to do is remove them from the freezer and bake or simply heat them up. They hold up wonderfully.
