Kathleen’s Banana Oatmeal Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 stick Butter, Melted
• 1 cup Sugar
• 3 Tablespoons Buttermilk
• 2 whole Eggs
• 1 teaspoon Baking Soda
• 3 whole Ripe Bananas, Mashed
• 1 cup Whole Wheat Flour
• 1 cup Rolled Oats
• FOR THE ADD-INS (OPTIONAL BUT HIGHLY RECOMMENDED):
• ½ cups Raisins
• ½ cups Roughly Chopped Pecans
• ½ cups Chocolate Chips

Preparation Instructions

Preheat oven to 325ºF. Grease and flour loaf pans or muffin tins, or use muffin liners; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together butter and sugar. Add in buttermilk, eggs, and baking soda, whisking until light yellow and thoroughly combined. Follow by whisking in the mashed bananas. Stir in flour and oatmeal until just combined and fold in any add-ins.

Pour batter into prepared baking vessel and bake for 1 hour for a loaf, or 25-30 minutes for muffins. Bread/muffins are done when a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

Allow to cool slightly before removing muffins from tin; allow a loaf to cool completely before removing from the pan (unless you want a big ol’ mess on your hands).
