Steps:

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be. You can ripen bananas by placing them in a paper bag at room temperature for a few days.
  • Mash the bananas well: Make sure to mash the bananas until they are completely smooth. This will help to ensure that your muffins are light and fluffy.
  • Use old-fashioned oats: Old-fashioned oats will give your muffins a heartier texture than quick-cooking oats.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make your muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature: This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the muffins to firm up.
