These fluffy, moist banana nut muffins are super easy to make and great for a quick breakfast. Adding oats, seeds, brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon adds flavor, texture and fibre, making these a great way to start your day.

Oatmeal Banana Nut muffins

Ingredients

This banana nut muffin recipe super easy and you only need a few pantry staples to make the batter. I used all purpose flour but you could swop out half the flour for oat flour or wholewheat flour. Rolled oats add great texture and a bump of nutrition. As does the walnuts and seeds. The seeds are optional but I like the texture they add to the muffin batter. You could also fold in a cup of chocolate chips for added deliciousness (chocolate also brings out the most of the banana flavors) I topped the muffins with a simple oat-crumble mixture but this is also optional.

  • All purpose flour. Cake flour can also be used.
  • Old fashioned rolled oats. 
  • Baking powder. 
  • Salt. 
  • Brown sugar. 
  • Cinnamon.
  • Bananas. For the best flavor, use ripe bananas. Similarly to banana bread, I like to use overly ripe bananas for these muffins.
  • Eggs.
  • Vanilla extract. 
  • Oil. I used canola oil but any neutral vegetable oil will work.
  • Walnuts. Pecans an be used instead.
  • Mixed seeds. I used a breakfast seed mix containing pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, flax seed and sunflower seeds.

How to make banana nut muffins

  1. Make the batter: Whisk the dry ingredients together in a large bowl. Mash the bananas with a fork. In a separate medium bowl, mix together the dry ingredients then add the mashed bananas. Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients then mix until just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts and seeds with a rubber spatula.
  2. Make the crumble topping (optional): Stir softened butter, rolled oats, brown sugar and cinnamon together until mixed.
  3. Bake: Grease and line muffin tins with paper liners. Spoon the batter into the prepared pans then sprinkle over a teaspoon or two of the crumble mixture. Bake the muffins until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Remove the muffin pans from the oven and transfer the muffins to a wire rack and allow to cool before serving.

Are banana nut muffins healthy?

Muffins are for all intent and purposes, cake. So it’s never going to be considered a health-food but that doesn’t mean that they are unhealthy or bad for you. These muffins contain loads of fiber from the bananas, nuts, seeds and oats as well as a host of nutrients from those same ingredients. You could use a sugar-alternative if you’d prefer (coconut sugar would be delicious).

Can I freeze banana nut muffins?

Yes, these muffins freeze very well. Allow baked muffins to cool completely then transfer to a freezer bag and freeze for up to 2 months. Allow to thaw before serving. The muffins can be kept in an airtight container for up to 5 days at room temperature.
