how to make easy banana oatmeal muffin cups

So delicious! These easy Banana Oatmeal Muffins with Chocolate Chips are flourless, gluten-free, dairy-free, and made with oats and bananas. They are not only super tasty, but they are also so quick and easy to make. These banana oatmeal muffin cups also freeze well for meal prep breakfasts and snacks!

Banana Oatmeal Muffins topped with chocolate chips

Based on the popularity of these Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins and these Apple Oatmeal Muffins, you guys like muffins that are both healthy and EASY to make! Kind of like snack-sized banana baked oatmeal, these healthy banana oatmeal muffins are a fun after-school snack for the kids. I often eat them for snacks, too. A healthy muffin, a handful of almonds, and a cup of coffee or tea are one of my favorite morning snacks.

These healthy banana oatmeal muffins have become a staple in my house. I love making a big batch of them for the week. They are even great when you let them cool and throw them in the freezer for later! I promise you these healthy banana muffins don’t even taste healthy because they’re incredibly moist and delicious!

If you have been wanting an easy, healthy, grab-n-go breakfast that the whole family will love, look no further! These simple Banana Oatmeal Muffin Cups are just that (and then some!).

Banana Oatmeal Muffins Are:

  • made with 100% whole grains
  • naturally sweetened with bananas
  • lower in calorie
  • quick + easy
  • the perfect healthy breakfast, snack or dessert!

How To Make Banana Oatmeal Muffins:

To make these muffin cups, start by mashing up your bananas and then combine oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl mix together mashed bananas, eggs, and milk until well combined. Pour the milk mixture over the oat mixture and stir well to combine. Evenly divide the oat mixture between 12 muffin cups and then top each one with a sprinkle of chocolate chips (or another preferred mix-in). Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes and until set. Allow muffins to cool and then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.

What Is The Texture Of These Banana Oatmeal Muffin Cups?

The texture of these muffins is somewhat similar to baked oatmeal. They are soft and have an almost custard-like texture. But not in a weird way. Since they are flourless, the texture is different than your usual banana bread or muffin made with white or wheat flour. How about I’ll just say that we love the taste and texture, and the small bits of oats are delicious in these muffins.

Are Banana Oatmeal Muffins Gluten-Free?

These oatmeal muffins are made with oats rather than white or wheat flour. Oats are naturally gluten-free, but often get contaminated with gluten because they are processed in facilities that also process wheat, barley, and rye. Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats, if you are serving the muffins to someone with a gluten intolerance.

Are These Banana Oatmeal Muffin Cups Dairy-Free?

As long as you use dairy-free chocolate chips (or leave them out) and a dairy-free milk, like almond milk, these muffins will be dairy-free.

Muffin Variations:

I love topping these muffins with chocolate chips, but you can really use any topping or stir in your favorite mix-in ingredients. Literally ANYthing you would stir into your oatmeal will work in the muffin cups. Just think of them as a bowl of oats on the go. Stirring the chocolate chips or whatever mix-in you’re using into the batter is also an option, if you want more flavor throughout the muffin cup. Other great mix-in ideas:

  • blueberries or raspberries
  • walnuts, pecans or almonds
  • raisins or craisins  
  • shredded unsweetened coconut
  • peanut butter chips

Oatmeal Muffin Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas as they are the sweetest. If you like a sweeter flavor you can add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar or coconut sugar along with the dry ingredients.
  • A mini silicone spatula helps to remove muffins gently without scratching your muffin tin.
  • To freeze the muffins, first let them come to room temperature, then seal them inside a freezer bag. When you’re ready to enjoy them, either reheat them in the oven (set to a very low temperature), microwave them, or simply place on your counter to thaw.
  • You may want to just double the recipe and make a double batch from the get go! Muffins freeze beautifully and you can keep a stash in the freezer to toss into lunches or for an easy snack when your chocolate cravings hit. You can put frozen muffins in the kids’ lunchboxes. By lunchtime, they will defrost and be ready to eat.

Warm and fresh from the oven, these muffins are incredibly good. Soft and a little squishy, supremely moist, and tons of banana flavor, complemented by melty chocolate chips. Yum!

Notes

RECIPE NOTES
*I like these muffins best warm or room temperature so if I am eating them from the fridge, I will either heat them on the microwave for 30-45 seconds or pop them in the toaster oven until warm.
*I rely on the bananas to keep this recipe naturally sweet.  If you like a sweeter flavor you can add a couple of tablespoons of brown sugar or coconut sugar along with the dry ingredients.
*I top each muffin with chocolate chips because my kids demand them.  Feel free to use other mix-ins like blueberries, walnuts, raisins or raspberries.  Stirring them into the batter is certainly an option if you want more flavor throughout the muffin cup.

    Hi Dani! Instead of using chocolate chips, could I add some unsweetened cocoa powder for that extra chocolate flavour? Or would that make it taste bitter? And how much cocoa powder would I add?

    These were delicious. I love baked oatmeal. And these were the perfect size. I also love that there was no need for any additional sweetener or flour. Excellent recipe. I love your whole approach to food. No rules or picky restrictions or complicated combinations — just enjoy a steady diet of real food most of the time, and taste matters as much as nutrition. Thanks.

    Hi Dani,

    These were amazing. I am struggling to determine if they are done or not. We used the time frame of 25 minutes at 350 degrees. It’s just not the golden brown as it is on the outside. We are considering the fact that the banana won’t turn as brown. We know this is a silly question, but we wanted your opinion 🙂

    I just recently discovered your Youtube channel and decided to try this recipe because I had some bananas and eggs that needed using. I added some grated carrot to supplement the banana and then raisins instead of chocolate. It was like a delicious quick carrot cake. My boyfriend, who usually says my recipes aren’t sweet enough, loved it. Thanks for the recipe!

I am a type 2 diabetic, so I’m always reading labels and paying attention to carbs. Your baked goods look absulutely delish and I’m always in search of diabetic friendly sweet treats.

    Hi Dani!!!

    You are amazing, really!!! And your family too!!! I absolutely love your recipes because they are super healthy, simple, quick, and sooo delicious!

    My family and I love these muffins!! They are also super delish with about 1/4 cup TJ’s crunchy almond butter mixed into the batter. 😉 also enjoy as “mini” muffins!

    My question is… what is the difference between using baking soda and baking powder?? I’ve used both and I don’t really know enough about the the science behind it to even notice the difference, but I’m sure there is.

    Keep up the awesome work!! Love your videos, especially the ones with your precious daughter!!! She has a great personality, very intelligent and respectful, and I enjoy seeing your beautiful bond! May God bless you and your family!

    All the best,
    Susie 😉

    Hi Dani!!

    I just found your youtube channel and I love it. I made your baked apple oatmeal muffins this morning and they came out yummy! I’m also really excited about the chia seed pudding flavors!

    I would love to try this recipe but I was wondering if I could substitute sweet potato for the banana as I have a lot of sweet potatoes on hand right now? The consistencies of both seem similar. I think it would taste amazing but wasn’t sure if it could work.

    Thank you,
    Nikki

    Hi Dani! I came across these on YouTube and wanted to try them because I’m on WeightWatchers and these looked like they could easily be adapted into the program, and I was right! With skim milk, but otherwise everything else exactly as written in the recipe, they worked out to 4 smart points per muffin. A delicious snack or breakfast! I live in the UK, though I’m originally a Jersey girl, and I’ve lost my taste for really sweet muffins that many Americans seem to prefer, and the sweetness of these with just the banana and chocolate chips is perfect. And I love that they seem to be a blueprint for so many other directions you can take them in, and will make sure to try the both the amazing suggestions in the comments and the later variation recipes you’ve provided. I may even come up with some of my own! Can’t wait to try the pumpkin ones as pumpkin isn’t as much of a “thing” here as in the US, and I’m craving some. I’ll have to make my own pumpkin puree but I have a feeling it will be worth it! Many thanks for this recipe.

    I made these today, replacing the two eggs with 1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce, as my daughter is allergic to eggs. They came out SO well and were super quick and simple to make! I will definitely be making these regularly from now on!

      Hi Andrea! So glad you enjoyed the muffins. And I’m glad to hear the oatmeal worked in place of the eggs!

        Dani, you meant 1/2C of unsweetened applesauce worked great as a sub for the 2 eggs.

    My picky toddler loved this! Can you add peanut butter or protein powder to this recipe? If so how much would you add? I’m trying to get some protein added to his diet since he won’t eat any meat.

      Yay! so glad to hear that Tina. I bet you can but I would have to experiment a bit to know exact measurements. Maybe start with 1/4 cup and see how that goes!

    Hi Dani,
    I’m so inspired by your website and the many delicious recipes! I just made these today, but I used the muffin paper cups in the pan to prevent sticking since there’s no butter in the recipe. I learned that this was a mistake because the papers stick on the muffin as well! ‍♀️
    Also, it definitely needs a small amount of brown sugar as mine were very bland. Trial and error and practice makes perfect!

    Loved these so much, especially as they don’t contain too many calories + sugar. Only problem is, I’m from the UK so I have to try and figure out all the measurements that are shown in cups, because I can only measure things in grams or millilitres. Any tips on how much a cup is, or the recipe but with different measurements ?? This could help greatly. Thank you, loved these muffins!

    HI Dani,
    I love your recipes. Can I substitute quick oats for the oats in this recipe?

    What brand of unsweetened almond milk do you prefer? I’m finding it difficult to find a quality one.

      I really like a brand called Malk. You should be able to find them on Amazon if your local store does not carry them.

    Made jumbo muffins. I just took them out of the oven. My modifications: 1/4 C honey, 1/4 C spelt flour, 1/8 C each flax seed meal and wheat germ for added nutrition. They came out golden brown and smell so good I’m surprised they came out with a little dome and so light. I pack these in hubby’s lunch cooler for his late AM snack with hard boiled eggs.

    I decided to try this recipe when I had leftover bananas. I’d tried the similar blueberry oat muffins and just didn’t like the texture. These, however, are not the same. They are so delicious. The first time I made them, I accidentally didn’t halve the salt, like I did the rest of the recipe. Figured I had ruined them, but I was wrong. The dark chocolate chips counteracted it, giving a salty sweet flavor. I am already making batch #2 two days later. Used the correct amount of salt and very tasty (I actually might prefer it the saltier way). I also didn’t have nutmeg, so just put a smidgen more cinnamon and added some almond slivers for a little crunch.
