I’ve been making these muffins for a long time, and I finally got around to putting up new photos for them and sharing these muffins as new with you.  And as the name indicates, they are definitely quick and easy to make.  Bonus:  they are a healthier muffin too.

The recipe creates exactly 9 Banana Oat Muffins.  I know that might seem odd as most recipes are for a dozen muffins, but this one makes just nine.  I personally like that about this recipe because I intend to eat just one muffin at a time.  One for breakfast is a healthy choice, and that’s usually my plan.  Whether or not I actually follow that plan is another story!

Each muffin will give you about 122 calories.  If you’re on the Weight Watchers plan, points are included at the top of this post.  And if you’re not on any kind of plan, you can eat as many muffins as you’d like!

Here are a few reasons why they’re a bit healthier than your average banana muffin:

They’re made with nonfat milk. There is very little oil in the recipe (and no butter). Whole wheat flour is used in place of white flour. And there is only 1/4 cup sugar in the whole recipe!

These Banana Oat Muffins are quite good on their own.  I do love them best when they’re piping hot out of the oven.  But you can certainly slather them with butter, if that’s your thing.  The slathering-with-butter option turns them into not-as-healthy muffins… just so you know 🙂 Enjoy!
