Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 very ripe bananas, mashed (about 3/4 cup)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp oil, such as avocado or melted coconut oil
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 2 tbsp ground flaxseed (optional)
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 3/4 tsp baking powder

Instructions

  1. Heat the oven to 350°F. Line a mini muffin tin with paper or silicone liners, or use a silicone mini muffin pan (which I have and love for these).
  2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas.
  3. Add the eggs, oil, milk and vanilla and mix well.
  4. In another bowl, combine the oats, flaxseed, cinnamon and baking powder.
  5. Add the oat mixture to the banana mixture and stir to combine.
  6. Scoop into the prepared muffin pan, about 1 tbsp per muffin.
  7. Bake for 15-18 minutes, or until the centers are set.
  8. Cool before removing and serving to baby.

Notes

  • Storage: Store muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Regular sized muffins: You can bake these into regular sized muffins. Increase the bake time to 22-25 minutes.
  • Mix-ins: You can mix in finely ground walnuts, pecans, or coconut, if you'd like. For adults and toddlers, mini chocolate chips are delicious, too.
