Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven and line a muffin pan with paper liners and coat them with cooking spray or a little oil.
  2. In a bowl, mash the bananas and then add the eggs, greek yoghurt, sugar and quick cooking oats. Stir to combine and let sit for 10 minutes to thicken. Do not skip this step, it is important to get high, moist muffins.
  3. After 10 min, add the rest of the ingrediens for the muffin batter. Stir to combine and fill the prepared muffin liners, reserve 2 tablespoon of batter in the mixing bowl.

Crumble topping:

  1. Add the melted coconut oil, flour, oats, sugar and cinnamon to the reserved batter in the mixing bowl. Stir together to a crumbly consistency using a spoon or your fingers. Top the muffins with the crumble topping in an even layer. 
  2. Bake the muffins for about 20 minutes, remember all ovens are different so start checking your muffins after 18 minutes.

Hint, Let the muffins cool down in the muffin tin for 10 minutes, the carefully remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Substitutions

  • Bananas – instead of mashed bananas, you can use apple sauce. 
  • Oil – for the crumble topping, this low fat banana oatmeal muffins recipe uses melted coconut oil, but any neutral oil like avocado oil or sunflower oil can also be used.
  • Vegan – to make this recipe into vegan oat flour muffins, use an egg replacer or make 2 flax eggs. Also use a vegan greek style yoghurt.
  • Sugar – this banana oatmeal muffin recipe uses coconut sugar, but it can also be substituted with light brown sugar.

FLAVOUR VARIATIONS

These healthy banana oat muffins are super moist and lightly spiced with a delicious crunchy streusel topping. Here are some suggestions for additional ingredients that can be mixed into the muffin batter.

  • Chocolate chips, or some chopped chocolate tastes great together with the banana flavor.
  • Chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans adds crunch and great flavor. You can also add a little to the oatmeal topping.
  • Dried fruit, like raisins, cranberries or chopped apricots. 

Another great recipe to try is my Banana blueberry oatmeal muffins or these Healthy Chocolate Banana Muffins.

Storage


If you have leftover oatmeal banana muffins, this is the best way to store them to keep them fresh for longer. 
First, let them cool down completely to room temperature, warm muffins will create condensation in the container.

Line an airtight container with a pice of paper towel in the bottom. Place the muffins on top in an even layer and seal tightly with a lid. The paper towel will help to absorb any excess moisture that could turn the muffins soggy. 

The banana oat flour muffins can also be stored in a ziplock bag. Place the muffins in one layer, on a pice of paper towel, then seal the bag tightly.
Store these banana muffins in room temperature for up to 4-5 days or you can freeze them for longer. 


To freeze these banana oat muffins, place them in an airtight container or ziplock bag made for the freezer. No need for the paper towel when they will be frozen.
Can be frozen for about 2 months. Take out one by one or the whole container, let the banana muffins defrost fully in room temperature and enjoy!
