Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour (or whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup brown sugar, packed

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1/4 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, chopped (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon. Mix well to ensure everything is evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, applesauce, milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Whisk everything together until smooth and well incorporated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; the batter should be somewhat lumpy. If desired, fold in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips.

          Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tray in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a muffin comes out clean.

              Cool Muffins: Remove from the oven and let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Enjoy your delicious oatmeal muffins warm or at room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week or frozen for several months.
