These Banana Oat Muffins are a favorite at my house. They are a quick treat to make for breakfast or to go with an afternoon cup of coffee. And a bonus is they freeze really well so you can double the batch and place some in the freezer to have on hand for a grab and go snack!
This recipe came about when I was using a recipe card that called for wheat germ in the muffins. I didn’t have any on hand so I substituted it with quick-oats. I also added and extra banana for added moister and flavor.
They turned out even more delicious than the original recipe. My kiddos agreed that this muffin recipe could stay in the “shoe box”. (I keep all my printed recipes in a shoe box.) This recipe is liked so well it has been the muffin of choice for 3 months in a row! They really are delicious.
Get out all your ingredients, preheat the oven to 400 degrees and lets start baking!
