Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup honey or maple syrup

2 large ripe bananas, mashed

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Optional: 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it lightly with cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk together until well combined.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), mashed bananas, eggs, vanilla extract, and milk. Use a fork or a whisk to blend the ingredients until smooth.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently fold together until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix; a few lumps are okay. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or nuts at this stage.

          Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

              Cool: Once done, remove the muffins from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container for up to 4 days. These muffins also freeze well, so feel free to batch cook!
