How to Make Best Banana Oat Muffins
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or grease well.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 cup rolled oats, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- In a separate bowl, mash 3 ripe bananas with a fork. Add 1/2 cup granulated sugar, ½ cup melted margarine or butter (vegan butter works great!), 1 egg (or flax egg for vegan option - 1 tbsp flaxseed meal mixed with 3 tbsp water), and ½ cup raisins. Mix well.
- Gently fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Fill the muffin cups ¾ full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
