Ingredients

10 tbsp butter melted
2/3 cup brown sugar
1 1/4 cup overly ripe bananas mashed(about 4 medium bananas)
1/2 cup buttermilk or plain Greek yogurt
2 cup all purpose flour
2/3 cup old-fashioned rolled oats not quick cooking
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp cinnamon optional
nutella optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly spray or line a standard size muffin pan, set aside.
In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat together melted butter and sugar. Add the buttermilk (or Greek yogurt) and mashed bananas, mix on low for 30 seconds. Add the eggs and vanilla, mix until just combined.
In a small mixing bowl, combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Whisk together then with mixing speed on low, gradually add dry ingredients. Mix until just combined.
Using a large scoop, fill each well ¾ of the way full (or a little more if you have some extra). If using Nutella, place about 1 tsp. of Nutella on the top of each muffin and swirl with a knife. Place in the oven and bake for 18-22 minutes. The tops should be lightly golden brown and they should be nice and firm. Remove from oven and allow to cool in pans for 2-3 minutes before removing and transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

-The recipe will yield a few more muffins if you choose to use Nutella.
-Add-ins such as chopped nuts, fresh fruit, dried fruit, coconut, chopped chocolate and nut butter spreads are all great additions! You may want to omit the cinnamon depending on what you use :)
