Equipment

Stand Mixer

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/3 cup old-fashioned oats (not quick cooking)
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 egg
6 Tbsp butter melted
3 Tbsp sour cream (or buttermilk)
1/2 cup mashed ripe bananas (from one large banana)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius). Lightly spray or line six wells of a standard-size muffin pan and set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together the melted butter and sugar. Add sour cream (or buttermilk) and mashed bananas, and mix on low for 30 seconds. Add the egg and vanilla, and mix until combined.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the flour, oats, baking soda, and salt. Whisk together, then with the mixer on low, gradually add the dry ingredients. Mix until combined. Remove the bowl from the stand and fold in the chocolate chips. Using a large scoop, fill each well ¾ of the way full (or a little more if you have some extra).
Place in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The tops should be lightly golden brown and firm. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pans for 2-3 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
