Baked Banana Oatmeal Muffins
A nutritious and delicious on-the-go breakfast perfect for cold mornings!
With Fall mornings turning cold, I have put away my blender and my smoothies as my quick morning breakfast option and have turned to my Baked Banana Oatmeal. Now, when most people bake oatmeal they bake it in a 9β³ square pan. A perfectly fine method that turns outΒ delicious. But, I move really slowly in the morning and there is no way in my morning stupor I could pre-heat the oven, assemble the ingredients and bake it for 20 minutes, even if I had the time. So, I decided to change it up a bit and make Baked Banana Oatmeal Muffins.

This is a simple and quick recipe. All you have to do is mix the dryΒ ingredientsΒ and the wet ingredients and then combine together.
Next, fill each section of the muffin tin almost to the top, leaving a bit of room. I use an ice cream scoop so I donβt make too much of a mess. Add sliced banana and crumble topping and gently press down.
I like to undercook my muffins just so slightly so they donβt dry out when I heat them back up in the morning. Test with a knife to make sure they are cooked through. No batter should be on the knife, but the muffins should feel springy when you touch them. Enjoy!
