Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
In a small bowl, whisk oats, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Stir in melted butter to make the streusel topping and set it aside.
In a large bowl, mix together flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
In a separate bowl, whisk melted butter, egg, and vanilla. Add this to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined—it’ll be a little crumbly.
Fold in mashed bananas gently without overmixing.
Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin and sprinkle generously with the streusel topping.
Bake for 20 minutes or until a toothpick comes out mostly clean.
Let the muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Notes

For a nutty crunch, add chopped walnuts or pecans.
To make dairy-free, swap butter with coconut oil and use plant-based milk and egg substitute.
For vegan muffins, use flaxseed mixture instead of egg and non-dairy butter.
Chocolate chips or raisins can be added for extra flavor.
Store muffins in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze them for longer storage.
