  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and line a muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl until mostly smooth.
  3. Stir in the eggs, Greek yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla, and oil until combined.
  4. Mix the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt in a separate bowl.
