Banana Oat Muffins

There is something that I love about this banana muffin recipe.

It could be they are loaded with wholesome ingredients (bananas, oats, & whole white wheat flour). Or the fact that they are so deliciously moist you may find yourself eating two!

It's a simple, one-bowl recipe that is easy to mix up and bakes in 20 mins, just in time for the afterschool snack rush! I occasionally like two of them with a cup of coffee in my breakfast rotation.

I hope you will enjoy them as much as my family does.
