Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray or butter.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 to 3/4 full.
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.
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.
