Every time I share that I’m baking these banana oat muffins,
my inbox over on Instagram gets flooded with requests to share! I get it, a good, fluffy banana muffin recipe is hard to find! Plus, if you’re a woman, then there’s 90% chance you have about 8 black, frozen bananas chilling in the freezer waiting to be made into banana bread of some sort. Tell me I’m wrong. This recipe is more old school, it’s from my Grandma’s Company’s Coming cookbook (an absolute classic) and I make it as is. Feel free to play around with the recipe though! It’s a great base to start with 🙂
I usually make these in a double batch and freeze them. They freeze amazingly well and they’re perfect to pull out for a snack for the kids or for me to eat at 10pm before bed. I like to add some chocolate chips too because what is banana bread without chocolate chips?? (Well, still delicious, but I digress…)
A quick tip for making these:
Do not overmix! This goes for any muffins. Please mix until just combined and then let it fluff up and let the baking soda/powder do it’s thing for a few minutes before scooping into the muffin tin. I find my muffins end up so dang light and fluffy it’s ridiculous.
Without further ado – the fluffiest banana oat muffin recipe:

Instructions
- In a large bowl measure the first six ingerdients (include chocolate chips here if adding them). Stir to mix. Make a well in the center
- In a small bowl, beat eggs until frothy. Mix in oil, milk and bananas. Pour into well. Stir just to moisten. Batter will be lumpy. Fill greased or lined muffin cups 3/4 full. Bake in 400°F oven for 20-25 minutes.
Enjoy these banana oat muffins fresh out of the oven,split with some butter smeared over top.
Literally heaven on a plate.
They will stay fresh for up to 6 days (ours are always eaten before then though) but store in a sealed container or in the fridge. If you make these banana oat muffins and share them, lmk by tagging @theblushhome – I love resharing the stories I’m tagged in 🙂 Hope you have a fantastic week!
