If there’s one thing out there that I enjoy more than anything else, it’s healthy muffins. I’ve been making these healthy banana oatmeal muffins for years and my daughters love them. They have no idea they are “healthy”, so serve them during snack time.
They are made with NO sugar and NO butter! What makes these muffins naturally sweet is the addition of honey and the natural sweetness of the ripe bananas. Extra ripe bananas are the key to moist and sweet banana muffins!
Plus, they are made with 100% whole wheat flour and can be easily made gluten-free.

Lastly, bake for 20-25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into a muffin comes out clean.
