I make these muffins at least once a month when I have ripe bananas that need to be used. I love them!! SO easy to freeze as well

Can you substitute oat bran for the oats?

In reply to Judy Thorne. We like the full tablespoon! You can add as much as you like.

Just wondering if in the Healthy Banana Muffin recipe, the one Tablespoon of vanilla is an error and should be one teaspoon.

I made them and added blueberries and some lemon zest – DELICIOUS!

These muffins are magnificent! I have tried so many “healthy” muffin recipes and they were all lacking. Happy to have found this recipe and your website. I didn’t have maple syrup so substituted with two tablespoons of raw, local honey. My bananas were really, really ripe so I didn’t use 1/4 cup.

I made the muffins using the applesauce instead of oil and didn’t blenderize, just used a spoon to mix well. They came out moist and the texture was awesome! Also, it made 12 delicious muffins!

In reply to Yaffa. We haven't tried this as mini muffins! We'd suggest taking a look at 15 minutes, then checking with a toothpick every few minutes after that until they are cooked through. (This type of muffin takes longer than the standard muffin to bake because of the dense oat batter, so keep that in mind!)

In reply to Debbie LeVay. Hi! When making mini-muffins, how long should I bake them? I can't wait to make these!! Yum!

This recipe defies the order of nature, being both DELICIOUS and SIMPLE. I would add “forgiving,” since I realized about 5 minutes into the cooking time that I had forgotten the maple syrup . . . I yanked the pan out of the oven and stirred a half teaspoon of syrup into each muffin. They still rose beautifully and tasted amazing, despite this screw-up and despite the total amount of maple syrup ending up only half of what is called for (in 12 muffins). They have a beautiful natural sweetness and wonderful crunchiness from the oatmeal on top. This recipe is a winner! I’ve been cooking for more than half a century, and I’m sharing my careless mistake so the less experienced cooks know that mistakes are part of the game, and there are few mistakes that can’t be remedied. Just smile and act like whatever came out of the oven is EXACTLY what you planned.
