Perfect Banana Oatmeal Muffins

These Perfect Banana Oatmeals Muffins are exactly that. They are quick to make and there are not too many ingredients. Obviously, from the title, bananas and oats star in these muffins. But I have included two other ingredients to give extra pep to the muffins. Those are speculaas spice and crystallised ginger. But I do stress that including them is optional. If you don’t care for those ingredients you can replace them with some chopped nuts or chocolate chips, or you can omit them completely. If you wish for some spice but don’t have speculaas spice you can use whatever you prefer, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, pumpkin spice etc.

As with all muffins these are quick and easy. Just mix together the dry ingredients. Do the same with the wet ingredients. Combine them without over-mixing. Then divide equally into 12 muffin cups. The final step is to bake the muffins.

My Muffins

My muffins came together very well. Indeed it would be hard to get anything wrong since they are so simple.

Then they baked perfectly too, rising well in the middle to create a dome. The taste and texture were simply wonderful. The sweetness of the ripe banana, mixed with the gently warming spices and the hit of ginger too, worked so well with the texture provided by the oats.

These muffins are great at any time. So they are good for a quick and easy breakfast, taken as a lunchtime treat, or just as a snack.
