Introduction
Bananas are often seen as a humble fruit, but don’t let their simplicity fool you. Packed with nutrients, naturally sweet, and incredibly versatile, bananas are a powerhouse ingredient that can transform both sweet and savory dishes. From quick snacks to gourmet creations, this vibrant fruit offers endless culinary potential. In this recipe guide, we’ll explore a delightful banana-based dish that celebrates everything amazing about bananas — flavor, nutrition, and ease.
Ingredients:
3 ripe bananas (the more speckled, the better)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
A pinch of salt
Optional add-ins: chocolate chips, chopped nuts, or dried fruit
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin or baking tray with liners or lightly grease it.
Mash the bananas in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs, vanilla, and honey/maple syrup. Mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
Combine wet and dry ingredients, stirring just until incorporated. Fold in any optional add-ins for a fun twist.
Spoon the batter into your prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Cool on a wire rack for at least 10 minutes before serving.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Best enjoyed warm, with a dab of nut butter or a drizzle of honey.
