Ingredients for Banana Apple And Oatmeal Muffins

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • Low Fat Milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup chopped apple
  • Whole Wheat Flour
  • All Purpose Flour
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 cup raisins
  • 1/4 cup chopped walnuts

How to Make Banana Apple And Oatmeal Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  3. In a large bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup milk, 1/4 cup vegetable oil, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1 large egg. Whisk until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1 teaspoon baking powder.
  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
  6. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped apple, 1/4 cup raisins, and 1/4 cup chopped walnuts. Lightly toss the apple, raisins, and walnuts in 1 tablespoon of flour before adding to the batter to prevent them from sinking.
  7. Fill each muffin cup about 2/3 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean.
  9. Remove muffins from the oven and let them cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
