Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup all-purpose flour (or for a healthier option, whole wheat flour)

1/2 cup packed brown sugar

1 tablespoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

2 ripe bananas, mashed until smooth

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/2 cup almond milk (or any preferred milk)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chocolate chips (optional, for a touch of sweetness)

1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional, for added crunch)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing each cup.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Use a whisk or spoon to mix these ingredients thoroughly until no clumps remain and everything is evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, creamy peanut butter, almond milk, egg, and vanilla extract. Continue whisking until the mixture is smooth and creamy, making sure all the ingredients are well blended.

        Combine Dry and Wet Mixtures: Pour the banana-peanut butter mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula or wooden spoon until just combined. It's important not to overmix; a few small lumps will ensure your muffins stay tender. If you’re adding chocolate chips or walnuts, fold them in gently at this stage.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a cookie scoop or spoon, evenly distribute the muffin batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about two-thirds full to allow for rising.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 18-20 minutes, or until the muffins are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool the Muffins: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Afterward, carefully transfer the muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve and Store: Enjoy these delicious muffins warm, or let them cool to room temperature. They can be stored in an airtight container for up to 4 days. For longer storage, consider freezing them.

                    - Presentation Tips: Serve the muffins on a decorative platter with a drizzle of honey or a sprinkle of powdered sugar on top for an eye-catching finish. You could also add fresh banana slices or a few walnuts on the side for a delightful touch!
