Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Step 2: In a large bowl, mash 3 medium ripe bananas until smooth. Stir in 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup honey, 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce, and 1 tsp vanilla extract until combined.
  3. Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
  4. Step 4: Add the dry ingredients to the wet banana mixture and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
  5. Step 5: Divide batter evenly into the 12 muffin cups and bake for 18-20 minutes until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean and the tops are lightly golden.
  6. Step 6: Let muffins cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
