Notes
For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract or sprinkle cinnamon sugar on top before baking., Serve muffins warm or toasted. They pair well with peanut butter, honey drizzle, or Greek yogurt for added protein., Store muffins in an airtight container with a paper towel to maintain freshness., Freeze individual muffins wrapped tightly for up to 2 months; thaw at room temperature or fridge before reheating., To reheat, microwave thawed muffin for 10–15 seconds or bake at 325°F (160°C) for 5–8 minutes., Avoid overbaking to keep muffins moist and fluffy., Use really ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moist texture., Use gluten-free certified oats to make the recipe gluten-free, noting texture may vary.
