- Prepare the Oven and Muffin Pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin pan with paper liners or lightly grease each cup with cooking spray.
- Make the Batter
Add the mashed bananas, eggs, honey, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil to a large mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until everything is evenly combined. If using optional add-ins, gently fold them into the batter. Let the mixture rest for 5 minutes so the oats can absorb some of the moisture.
- Fill the Muffin Cups
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full. Smooth the tops with the back of a spoon for even baking.
- Bake the Muffins
Bake for 20–22 minutes, or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow the muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

I’ve baked these Gluten-Free Banana Oat Breakfast Muffins more times than I can count, and they never last long in my kitchen. Whenever I have a couple of ripe bananas on the counter, this is the recipe I reach for because it’s simple, wholesome, and perfect for busy mornings. After testing different amounts of oats, honey, and banana, I found the balance that creates muffins that are moist, naturally sweet, and hearty without feeling heavy.
These muffins are made with everyday ingredients and come together in just a few minutes. The bananas add natural sweetness and moisture, while oats provide a satisfying texture and plenty of fiber. A touch of honey rounds out the flavor without making the muffins overly sweet. Whether you’re meal prepping breakfasts for the week, packing school lunches, or looking for a healthier afternoon snack, these oven-baked muffins are an easy recipe you’ll want to make again and again.
Recipe Tips
- Use very ripe bananas with brown spots for the sweetest flavor.
- Be sure to use certified gluten-free oats if you need the recipe to remain gluten-free.
- Let the batter rest for a few minutes before baking for softer muffins.
- Avoid overbaking to keep the muffins moist.
- Add chopped nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture and flavor.
- Store cooled muffins only after they’ve completely cooled to prevent condensation.
Storage & Reheating
- Store the muffins in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days or refrigerate for up to 5 days.
- For longer storage, freeze the muffins in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or warm individual muffins in the microwave for 20–30 seconds before serving.
