Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients:
- ¾ cup (180 ml) all-purpose flour
- ⅔ cup (160 ml) rolled oats
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/8 teaspoon salt
Wet Ingredients:
- 1 egg
- ¾ cup (180 ml) mashed ripe banana
- ¼ cup (60 ml) milk
- ¼ cup (60 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- ⅓ cup (80 ml) sugar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
Optional Ingredients:
- Finely diced toasted pecans
- Diced pecans
Instructions
- Warm the oven to 375° F (190° C) and prepare a 6-cavity muffin tin by lightly coating with cooking spray or inserting paper liners.
- Create a crunchy topping by combining finely chopped pecans, dark brown sugar, and vegetable oil in a small bowl; reserve this mixture for later garnishing.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly combine rolled oats, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and kosher salt using a whisk.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together whole milk, vegetable oil, large egg, ripe mashed banana, and pure vanilla extract until the mixture achieves a smooth, uniform consistency.
- Delicately fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredient mixture, stirring just until incorporated to prevent overmixing; gently fold in additional chopped pecans.
- Evenly distribute the batter among the muffin cups, filling each approximately 2/3 full; sprinkle the reserved pecan-sugar mixture on top of each muffin, gently pressing down to help the topping adhere.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through cooking time; test for doneness by inserting a clean toothpick into the center of a muffin – it should emerge without any wet batter clinging to it.
Notes
- These hearty muffins transform overripe bananas into a delightful breakfast or snack treat.
- Pecans add a delicious crunch and nutty flavor that elevates the entire muffin experience.
- Mixing wet and dry ingredients separately ensures a perfectly textured, moist final product.
- Opt for brown sugar in the topping to create a caramelized, slightly crispy exterior.
- Quick to prepare and even faster to devour, these muffins are perfect for busy mornings or unexpected guests.
