How to Make Banana Orange Muffins

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease the cups.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, ½ cup packed light brown sugar, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup chopped dates.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1 cup plain yogurt, 1 mashed ripe banana, 2 large egg whites, ¼ cup vegetable oil, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
  4. Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Fill muffin cups almost to the top.
  6. Bake for 20-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the muffins are golden brown.
  7. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
