Making time for everything I need to do in my busy morning is always challenging. That is why I love easy, on-the-go meals in the mornings, and there is nothing better than these simple muffins!
These amazing 3 Ingredient Banana Oatmeal Muffins are the easiest and most affordable way to break your fast.
Their sweet and toasty oat flavor is popular with all ages, so simplify the morning for your whole family with these delectable muffins!
🥘 Ingredients
- Oats: Oats are the perfect way to start your day! This tasty grain is loaded with fiber and protein to begin your day on a healthy and filling note! Rolled oats are a whole, natural form of oats and they have the greatest chew and hearty texture for this recipe.
- Eggs: Eggs are the baker’s best friend! They can do everything from enriching a recipe with fat to binding ingredients together! The eggs in this recipe make the muffins dense, custardy, and fully satisfying.
- Banana Puree: Bananas are the best breakfast ingredient! They are sweet, healthy, and affordable, so everyone can find something to love about these easy muffins. Make a banana puree by thoroughly mashing about 5 to 6 bananas. Use overripe bananas if you like an even sweeter flavor. If you want to make these muffins when bananas are out of season or all sold out, you can use frozen bananas; just allow them to fully thaw before making the puree.
- Cooking Oil Spray: A hint of this handy ingredient sprayed on the muffin pan makes removing the muffins super easy. You can also smear a little butter or coconut oil in the muffin cups instead if you prefer.
See the recipe card for quantities.
🔪 Instructions
Step One: Peel the bananas and puree them. Add half of the oats and the eggs. Blend again before adding the remaining oats.
Step Two: Fill the muffin molds with batter. It does not rise much, so you can fill the molds near the top.
Step Three: Bake for about 15 -20 minutes. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
Step Four: Let the muffins fully cool to room temperature, remove them from the mold, and enjoy!
🍫 Variations
With only three simple ingredients, there is no limit to how you can tweak or upgrade these already delicious muffins! Try one of these tasty twists to customize your muffins:
- Chocolate Chips: Bananas and chocolate go together perfectly! Try dark chocolate or semi-sweet chips to balance the sweet fruit taste.
- Peanut Butter Chips: These sweet morsels bring a fun nuttiness to balance the sweet fruitiness.
- Raisins: Traditional and golden raisins add a fun texture and taste to these bites!
- Nuts: Stir in some chopped nuts for an extra earthy crunch! Walnuts and bananas are a classic choice, but go nuts and add whatever type you like!

- Stick Blender or Food Processor: A stick blender or food processor is an amazing trick to these yummy muffins. These powerful tools can mash the bananas and mix the batter without dirtying extra tools or taking a ton of effort.
- Silicone Spatula: This handy tool helps scoop, scrape, and mix the batter.
