Enjoy these moist, nutritious muffins made with ripe bananas and oats, perfect for a healthy breakfast or snack.

3 medium Bananas (ripe or frozen) (Use spotty bananas for best results.)
2 cups Oats (gluten-free if needed) (Old-fashioned rolled oats give the best texture.)
1 cup All-Purpose Flour (Substitute with gluten-free flour if necessary.)
1/2 cup Sugar (Reduce if desired or substitute with honey.)
2 teaspoons Baking Powder (Check for freshness.)
1 teaspoon Baking Soda (For leavening.)
1 teaspoon Cinnamon (Adjust to taste.)
1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg (Optional.)
1 teaspoon Salt (A pinch.)
1 large Egg (Can substitute with flax egg or applesauce for vegan.)
1/4 cup Oil (Coconut oil for dairy-free.)
2 teaspoons Vanilla Extract (Almond extract as an alternative.)
1/4 cup Brown Sugar (Optional for topping.)

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners.
In a large bowl, mash bananas and mix with eggs, oil, vanilla, and sugars.
In a separate bowl, combine oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
Mix dry ingredients into wet until just combined. Divide batter into muffin cups.
For topping, mix oats, brown sugar, and melted butter; sprinkle over muffins. Bake for 20 minutes.

Use ripe bananas for sweeter muffins and customize toppings as desired.
