Ingredients

Scale

Wet ingredients

  • 1/2 cup old fashioned rolled oats, soaked in 2/3 cup 2% milk for 30 minutes
  • 2 cups ripe banana, smashed (about 4 bananas)
  • 1/4 cup full fat plain Greek yogurt
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
  • 1 egg plus 1 egg yolk, room temperature

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 1 cup whole wheat flour
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt

Mix-Ins

  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon flaxseed 

 

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and generously grease a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray. (avoid muffin/cupcake liners).
  2. Combine all wet ingredients in a large mixing bowl adding the egg + yolk last to avoid overmixing. Prior to adding the egg, be sure to mix very well as the Greek yogurt tends to clump up. You can also use a stand mixer with the paddle attachment if you prefer.
  3. Whisk dry ingredients together in a medium sized mixing bowl. 
  4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and thoroughly combine with a whisk or large spatula.
