I love these banana oat muffins so much! They have a crisp top, and a soft, fluffy, moist inside. They can also be tweaked to have more or less banana flavor, based on your tastes. Oh and they come together quickly!

These muffins are based on a no butter banana bread recipe that I made growing up as a kid. I always loved the texture and taste, so I made a few tweaks and this recipe is the result! Add some almond butter or peanut butter on top and you have a mouthwatering snack.

Try my olive oil granola, strawberry crisp, or berry oat bars for other oatmeal recipes.

I LOVE baking with olive oil. I find that olive oil makes my baked goods lighter and tastier.

Some of my favorite olive oil bakes include…this sugar cookie recipe, this chocolate chip cookie recipe and this pumpkin cake recipe. I’m drooling just thinking about them. YUM.

And the same is true of these healthy oatmeal muffins. They are made with olive oil (without butter) and they are divine.

How to make these banana muffins made with olive oil:

You’ll need 3 bowls to make these banana muffins with no butter.

Tips

  • Use extra ripe bananas in this recipe. You wont get the right texture or flavor with underripe bananas.
  • If you want extra banana flavor, use 3 bananas in this recipe.
  • If you want a lighter banana flavor, then use 2 bananas.

Muffin variations:

This recipe is for regular healthy banana oatmeal muffins but you can tweak this recipe if you want to.

Blueberry– you can add some blueberries to this recipe to make blueberry banana oat muffins. I would add about 1 cup of blueberries. Love blueberries? Try my blueberry banana bread. YUM.

Chocolate chip– you can add some chocolate chips to this recipe to make chocolate chip banana muffins. I would add about 1 cup. Make sure you use dairy-free chocolate chips to keep the recipe dairy-free. I like the ones from Enjoy Life.

Raspberry– don’t think that blueberries are the only berry you can add, raspberries are great here as well! Sometimes I just add a bunch of mixed berries into the batter, delish!

Walnuts or other nuts– you can also add any nut of your choice to the batter.

Cinnamon– add more cinnamon for more cinnamon flavor!

  1. I thought these had a good flavor but they weren’t sweet enough. I would have doubled the brown sugar or added an extra cup of white. 3 stars
