Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup Greek yogurt (plain, nonfat or low-fat)

2 large eggs

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 cup rolled oats

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, Greek yogurt, eggs, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Use a whisk to mix until smooth and well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, folding gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are perfectly fine.

          Add Optional Ingredients: If desired, fold in the chopped walnuts or pecans and chocolate chips or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.

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

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Serve: Enjoy your Greek Yogurt Banana Oatmeal Muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
