- Baking powder
- Salt
- Oil- a mild oil, such as avocado oil or coconut oil will both work for this recipe
- Eggs
- Cinnamon
- Maple syrup- along with ripe bananas, the maple syrup sweetens these banana oatmeal chocolate chip muffins.
- Oats- rolled and quick cook oats will both work in this recipe, use gluten-free or sprouted oats if needed for gluten sensitivities.
- Chocolate chips- use dairy-free chocolate chips, semi-sweet, dark chocolate chips or your favorite baking chips.

Instructions
This recipe only requires one large bowl, let's get to it!

Bake the muffins for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool on a cooling rack for about 15 minutes and enjoy!

These muffins can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for a few days. However, if you want to store the muffins for longer, keep them in the fridge for up to 1 week or in the freezer for a few months. If you freeze the muffins, make sure they are in a freezer-safe bag or container.
Tip: make sure to allow the muffins to cool completely before storing to ensure they don't get soggy.
