Why you’ll love these oatmeal banana chocolate chip muffin
- We’ve been working our way through a Costco size bag of oats for a while now, and these oatmeal muffins have become a go-to for use.
- The oats provide added fiber and protein to otherwise basic banana muffins, and they add a slight nutty flavor that works so well with the chocolate chips.
- They’re easily made with whatever dairy free milk you prefer, but we like to use unsweetened almond milk – or oat milk to make them free from nuts.

Ingredients & Substitutions
Making changes to a recipe can result in recipe failure. Any substitutions listed below are simple changes that I believe will work in this recipe, but results are not guaranteed.

How to make oatmeal banana chocolate chip muffins
Prep. Preheat your oven to 425˚F and add paper liners to a muffin tin. Set aside for later.
Mix the wet ingredients. Next, we whisk the liquid ingredients together until smooth. We like to do this in a separate bowl because it prevents us from over mixing the wet-dry combination which would result in tough and not-fluffy muffins.
Sift the dry ingredients. So we don’t really sift, but by whisking our dry ingredients together, we get the same effect. It’s a simple way to make sure the baking powder is evenly distributed and the spices are mixed throughout the flour.
Add the mix-ins. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and then gently mix in the oats and chocolate chips.
Bake the muffins. Divide the batter between 12 muffin liners and top the muffins with a sprinkle of turbinado sugar – this is totally optional, we just like the crunch.
Pop the muffins into your preheated oven for 10 minutes. Then, turn down the heat to 350˚F and continue baking for about 5 – 7 more minutes, or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.

faqs about banana muffins
3 average sized bananas will usually mash up to equal 1 cup.
You can freeze bananas for up to 3 months. It’s great to always have a few frozen bananas in the freezer for a last minute recipe.
I would recommend using a mild tasting oil, such as canola or vegetable oil for this recipe. You can any type of oil you have on hand, though it may change the flavor slightly.
