These cinnamon oatmeal muffins are a staple in our house. They’re packed full of bananas and oats, and just lightly sweetened with almond butter, and honey. They’re so good for breakfast, or a healthy snack!
They have the perfect banana cinnamon flavor in ever bite. They’re dense, and soft, and so delicious! Perfect on their own, or I love spreading them with some butter and honey! If you love banana, and want something a little sweeter, try our Brown Butter Banana Cookies!

How to make banana cinnamon oatmeal muffins?
These muffins are super easy to make with only a few steps. Start first with getting all your ingredients ready, preheating the oven, and lining a muffin tin with cupcake liners.
Then in a bowl, combine the almond butter, greek yogurt, eggs, vanilla, and honey. Mix in the mashed bananas.
In another bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Then mix the two bowls together.
Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full. Bake the muffins up until they’re lightly golden, and remove the pan from the oven and enjoy! I like spreading them with butter, and honey!
How to store banana cinnamon oatmeal muffins?
Store any leftover muffins in an airtight container, lined with a layer of paper towels in the bottom. Then place the muffins in a single layer in the container, top with the lid. Store the muffins at room temperature for 3 to 4 days.
These cinnamon oatmeal muffins are so delicious fresh out of the oven. But they’re just as good after they’ve cooled down to room temperature. We love to reheat them in the microwave, or our toaster oven too (which gives them a nice little crispiness on the outside).
I often like to make a double batch of these and freeze some of them, so we have them on hand anytime we want them!
How to freeze banana cinnamon oatmeal muffins?
Wrap individual muffins in plastic wrap, then place them all together in a freezer safe ziptop bag or other container for up to 6 months.
These banana cinnamon oatmeal muffins are not only healthy, but delicious. They’re perfect for a light, but hearty snack, or a great breakfast option. Especially if you need something on the go, they’re great to toss in a ziplock bag or container and take with you.

Rachel says
If I only have three bananas should I add something else to the batter?
Aimee says
It will probably be fine with just 3 bananas, but you could try adding a bit more almond butter, or more Greek yogurt if it makes it too dry, probably just another 1/4 of either
Carl says
I just use regular butter. I thought it was good.
Aimee says
Instead of the almond butter? Glad you liked them!
Francie Sabell says
I would love to make these cinnamon oatmeal muffins but have a tree nut allergy. Can something be substituted for the nut butter?
Aimee says
I haven’t tried it with this recipe, but you could try sun butter
