Banana Oatmeal Muffins

1 1/2 cups all purpose flour

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup light brown sugar

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp kosher salt

2 large eggs

1/4 cup vegetable or canola oil

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

3 large mashed bananas

3/4 cup milk chocolate chips, chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)

In a large bowl, whisk together flour, oats, brown sugar, cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt.

In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, oil and milk and vanilla. Add mashed bananas and stir to combine. Add to flour and oat mixture and mix with a fork until just combined. Fold in chocolate or nuts, if using.

Line or grease 12 regular muffin cups and fill 3/4 full. Bake at 400F for 18-20 minutes, or until a tester inserted into the centre of the muffins comes out clean.
