Ingredients
  

  • 1½ cups all-purpose flour (180g)
  • 1½ cups old fashioned rolled oats plus more for topping (150g)
  • ⅔ cup granulated sugar (133g)
  • 1½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ cup chocolate chips optional (90g)
  • 1 cup mashed ripe banana (about 2 bananas/250g)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs
  • ⅓ cup vegetable oil (60ml)
  • ⅔ cup milk (120ml)
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon plus more for topping

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 375F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the milk, oil, eggs, and vanilla until well combined. Stir in the mashed banana. Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir together until well combined. Stir in chocolate chips, if using. Divide batter among lined cookie sheets; sprinkle with extra oats and cinnamon, if desired.
  • Bake for 18 to 22 minutes or until golden brown and the centers feel firm. Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes, then remove and continue cooling on a wire rack.

Notes

  •  Don't overmix the batter, or you'll end up with dense muffins or large holes in the crumb.
  •  For the best results, measure your flour and oats accurately by using a scale. Adding too much flour or rolled oats is a common reason muffins end up dense. The best way to measure ingredients is with a scale, especially flour.
  • Use an ice cream scoop for even-sized muffins.
  •  If you don’t want to use paper liners, make sure to butter and flour the wells of your muffin tin thoroughly before baking. After they have cooled for at least 10 minutes, remove them from the tin.
