Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil and eggs until well combined. Add the almond milk and continue to whisk until fully incorporated.
3. Mash the Banana:
In a separate bowl, mash the ripe banana with a fork until smooth. Add the mashed banana to the wet ingredients mixture and stir well.
4. Combine the Dry Ingredients:
In another bowl, mix together the oats, baking powder, baking soda, salt, brown sugar, and corn flour. Ensure all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.
5. Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients:
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; it's okay if there are a few lumps.
6. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
7. Bake:
Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
8. Cool:
Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

Enjoy your homemade oat muffins warm out of the oven or let them cool for a quick and healthy snack later. These muffins also freeze well, so you can always have a batch on hand for busy days.

Oat muffins FAQ:

What is the baking time for oat muffins?

Bake the oat muffins in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 18-22 minutes. They are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.

How should I store leftover oat muffins?

Store leftover oat muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. For longer storage, you can refrigerate them for up to a week or freeze them for up to 3 months.

Can I substitute the banana in this recipe?

Yes, you can substitute the banana with unsweetened applesauce or another mashed fruit like pumpkin for a similar texture and moisture. However, this may slightly alter the flavor.

What pan size should I use for this muffin recipe?

Use a standard 12-cup muffin tin for this recipe. If you want to make mini muffins, adjust the baking time to about 10-12 minutes.

What can I use instead of almond milk?

You can substitute almond milk with any other non-dairy milk, such as soy milk or oat milk. If you prefer a dairy option, whole or skim milk will also work well.

- You can substitute olive oil with coconut oil or vegetable oil if preferred.

- Mix the dry ingredients separately before combining them with the wet ingredients to ensure even distribution.

- Preheat the oven to the correct temperature before baking to ensure even cooking.

- Line the muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well to make removing the muffins easier.
