HEALTHY BANANA OAT MUFFINS



Healthy Banana Oat Muffins image

These potassium- and fiber-packed muffins are great as a quick grab-and-go breakfast or after-school snack. Browning the butter adds a nutty, almost caramel-like flavor to the batter and the sour cream ensures that the muffins stay nice and moist.

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour or white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup reduced-fat sour cream
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 large eggs
2 medium bananas, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (about 1 heaping cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with cupcake liners.
  • Melt the butter in a small skillet set over medium heat, and cook until it starts to bubble and foam, about 5 minutes. Continue cooking, stirring constantly, until the foam subsides and brown specks start to appear, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer the butter to a medium mixing bowl to cool slightly.
  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, 1/2 cup of the oats, the baking powder, salt and baking soda.
  • Add the sour cream, sugar and vanilla to the browned butter and whisk. Add the eggs and whisk until combined. Fold the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Then fold in the bananas (don't worry if there are a few lumps).
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared pan. Sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons oats. Bake until the muffins are light golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 20 to 24 minutes. Cool in the pan for a few minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter your muffins will be. Mashed bananas also add moisture and flavor to the muffins.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the muffins tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Fill the muffin cups only 2/3 full: This will prevent the muffins from overflowing.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for a short amount of time: This will help the muffins rise and get a golden brown crust.
  • Let the muffins cool in the pan for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This will help the muffins hold their shape.

Conclusion:

These heart-healthy banana nut oatmeal muffins are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They're made with whole wheat flour, oats, bananas, nuts, and spices. They're also low in sugar and fat. So, next time you're looking for a healthy and satisfying snack, give these muffins a try. You won't be disappointed!
