If you are looking for a tasty and easy breakfast to prepare in advance, look no further! I bet you have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now to make these fluffy banana muffins. I added dark chocolate chips to this batch. Additionally, you can add in other ingredients like chopped nuts or raisins. These gluten free banana oatmeal muffins are SO simple and customizable!
Ingredients Used to Make Healthy Muffin Recipe:
- gluten free oat flour
- gluten free old fashioned rolled oats
- cinnamon
- baking powder (gluten-free)
- vanilla
- mashed spotty-brown bananas - the more brown the banana, the sweeter the muffin 🙂
- eggs
- olive oil
- maple syrup
- dark chocolate chips
How to Make Healthy Oatmeal Banana Muffins from Scratch?
- In a mixing bowl, combine all ingredients for the muffins until well incorporated.
- Line a muffin tin with 10 liners. Check out these silicone liners I adore! Use a ¼ measuring cup and pour the batter into each muffin liner. Bake for 23-30 minutes in a 350°F oven.
- Allow the muffins to cool completely before removing them from the liners.
- Store in an airtight container on the counter for a couple of days or place into the freezer to grab and microwave whenever you are ready to enjoy! I highly recommend making a batch on Sunday to have ready to go for the week ahead.

These muffins sound amazing, but the pop-ups you have enabled cover up your recipe and really distract from your post when using a mobile device. If you could remove them, I’d love to give the recipe a try!
The ads never cover the recipe. They are just incorporated into the post. Ads are how I pay my bills.

I found your blog just yesterday and this is the second recipe I try in two days😅🤣
Great texture! I did switch chocolate for some pecan! Loved them.
Wow! That means so much!! Made my whole day. 🙂
Erin
Made these to keep in the freezer for my daughter and she loves them!! Easy and tasty snack. Ended up using 2 bananas and maybe a tablespoon of maple syrup, worked great. Highly recommend if you like banana muffins.
Awesome!! Thanks, Erin. 🙂
Kaia
I replaced oat for almond flour and they turned out amazing 🙂 I was looking for a new breakfast option and I absolutely love these!!
Awesome!! I am so happy almond flour worked as well. Thanks for sharing, Kaia. 🙂

I had some ripe bananas that needed to be used up, so I thought I’d give your recipe a try and prep these muffins to have for breakfast this week. They turned out great!! Love how easy they were to make and how simple the ingredients are. I swapped out chocolate chips for walnuts and used avocado oil instead of olive oil. These muffins are definitely a new favorite of mine. Thanks for another great recipe Krista! 🙂
Ahh this makes me so happy to hear!! Thanks, Brooke! 🙂
Kristen
Thank you for sharing this recipe. I made them for my little one; who I have yet to give refined sugar too, and she loves them. So do I. I had been looking for a recipe like this and am so glad to have found it. Thank you thank you!
Yay!! Thank YOU for your kind comment, Kristen! 🙂

Hi,
Loved the muffins really fluffy not dry at all and very tasty, can you please include nutrition info in your recipes, I will like to know calorie info. Thanks Diane

Lydia
Hi there, can I use frozen bananas (thawed to room temp then mashed) instead of fresh bananas? If yes, I'm going to make these right away b/c they sound delish! Thank you!
Hi, Lydia! I haven't personally tried so I can't say you will achieve the exact results. I believe it should be fine as long as there is not too much excess water from the frozen bananas.
Joan Homer
I’ve made these muffins twice. They disappeared very quickly! Healthy ingredients and delicious too! Prep is so quick and easy. My go to recipe now!😊
AMAZING! 🙂
Kellie

YAY! 🙂

These are DELICIOUS!! Highly recommended them!!
❤️❤️
Barbara
I doubled the recipe and I'm really happy I did. These are delicious. I substituted nuts and raisins for the chocolate chips (I know. I know. Sinful.) and added cinnamon. My family is coming over today so I already know I'll have to make another batch for the freezer. (I love to defrost muffins and then pop them in the toaster oven for 3 min. They taste like they just came out of the oven.)
Thank you, Krista for developing this recipe.
Aw this comment means so much! Thank you, Barbara. 🙂
Eva
These were nice! I think coconut oil/butter would have worked better (I used 1/8 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil and the taste was a bit overpowering). Thank you for sharing 🙂
Thank you for sharing! You can use regular olive oil or avocado oil instead.
Judy

These are delicious and so easy to make. My 4 year old loves them. I just think the recipe should really include cinnamon so much better with it.
