Healthy Banana Oat Muffins

Ingredients

• 2 ripe banana, mashed
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/3 cup vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3/4 cup rolled oats

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
2. In a large bowl, mash the bananas until smooth. Stir in the sugar, oil, and vanilla.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the banana mixture and stir until just combined.
4. Stir in the oats. Divide the batter evenly among the muffin cups. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
5. Let the muffins cool in the tin for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
