Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 180°C (350°F). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly or lining it with muffin liners.

Prepare the oats: In a mixing bowl, combine the oat flakes and hot milk. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to allow the oats to soften.

Step 2: Make the Muffin Batter

Mash the bananas: In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas with a fork until they are smooth. This will add moisture and sweetness to the muffins.

Combine wet ingredients: Add the eggs and vanillin to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is well combined.

Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the oat mixture, cocoa powder, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. If you’re adding walnuts, fold them in at this stage.

Combine wet and dry mixtures: Pour the wet banana mixture into the dry oat mixture. Stir gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can make the muffins dense. If desired, fold in chocolate chips for added sweetness.
