Wendy’s Test Kitchen Tips

Do not overmix the muffin batter or it will cause the muffins to be dense and heavy once they are baked up.
You can add a few more oats to the top of the muffins to showcase the oats in the muffins.
Make sure to use ripe bananas that have brown speckles on them. this will help when you add mashed bananas to mix, for the banana flavor to stand out as the muffins bake up. Over-ripe bananas are best.
I do recommend old-fashioned oats over quick oats as it provide a better texture to the muffins for a hearty snack time for even picky eaters. You can sneak in some oats for a great source of fiber.
Aim to fill the muffin tin with 3/4 the way full of the muffin batter. It will rise as it bakes up, so leave room for that.
If you do not use cupcake liners then spray the muffin tin with cooking spray to prevent the muffins from sticking in the pan.
