US Customary - Metric

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and grease a standard muffin tin well.
Add all of the ingredients except the toppings to a big bowl. Stir well.
Add batter to the prepared muffin pan, using about ¼ cup in each cup.
Top with fruit or chocolate chips and bake for 30-34 minutes or until lightly golden brown around the edges and firm to the touch.
Let cool slightly and serve, or store and enjoy later.

Notes

Store in an airtight container for up to a week. Or freeze for up to 6 months in a freezer bag with as much air removed as possible. Warm through in 15 second increments on a heat-safe plate to serve.
Top with a sliver of butter and maple syrup. Or try nut butter such as peanut butter or almond butter. They are also great warm with a little chocolate hazelnut spread.
Use applesauce in place of the banana, if desired.
Use certified gluten-free rolled oats to make these gluten-free.
Use nondairy milk to make this recipe dairy-free.
