Banana Oatmeal Muffins

(12 servings)

  • 2 medium bananas
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup old fashioned oats
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 3/4 cup brown sugar - packed
  • 1/4 cup butter - softened
  • 1 large egg - beaten
  • 2 and 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
Prepare 12 regular muffin cups with muffin papers or a light coating of cooking spray.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking powder, salt and allspice.

In a separate smaller bowl, cream butter and brown sugar together by hand until the texture is like wet-sand.

In a third bowl, beat the egg. Add milk and mix well.

Combine all three mixtures in the largest bowl. Mix well. Stir in the banana pieces.

Spoon batter into prepared muffin cups, filling each about 2/3 full.

Bake for 25 minutes or until golden brown (start checking after 20 minutes). If a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out dry (no batter), the muffins are done.


This is a great recipe to use up over-ripe bananas. You can use regular milk if you don't have buttermilk.
