How to Make Banana Instant Oatmeal Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease the cups lightly.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, ¾ cup granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional), and 1 cup instant oatmeal.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, ¼ cup vegetable oil, 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium), and ½ cup buttermilk.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill each muffin cup about ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
