And to be completely honest, I don’t like the taste (or texture) of oatmeal!

So when I discovered I could make oatmeal into MUFFINS, I was immediately sold. 

I love turning my guilty indulgences like ice cream and brownies into healthy recipes

For starters, these banana oatmeal muffins can be eaten for breakfast. 

The best part? This banana oatmeal muffin recipe is free of added sugar.

Yep, that’s right.

This recipe calls for no sugar whatsoever. 

You might then be thinking 

“ohhh I don’t know. I like my muffins sweet”

Don’t worry – these banana oatmeal muffins are still sweet – even without added sugar.

This is one of the best lessons I’ve learned from creating recipes for this blog.

Sugar is not the only source of sweetness.

Sweetness can come from all sorts of things like ripe bananas and yummy dates!

That’s where the perfect sweetness of these banana oatmeal muffins come from.

Banana Oatmeal Muffins: The Texture

Remember how I said I didn’t like the texture of oatmeal?

The truth is, I can be a bit weird about textures in general.

So, I am very pleased to report that the texture of these muffins is nothing like grainy oatmeal.

Instead, they are chewy, bouncy, moist, and heavenly.

I knew I’d hit a home run when my husband (who loves sugar) ate them and asked for more.

His eyes even light up when he sees me whip out the muffin tray and blender haha

My blender is from the olden days so I usually put my eggs in first so everything mixes a bit easier. If you have a really good blender, just throw everything in and you won't have any problems getting a nice smooth consistency fast.
