Ingredients
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 large egg whites
- 1 cup mashed ripe bananas (about 2 medium)
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/4 cup fat-free milk
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup chopped pecans
Directions
- Start by preheating your oven to 400°. Prepare your muffin cups by coating them with cooking spray.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, quick-cooking oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, baking soda, and ground nutmeg.
- In a separate, smaller bowl, whisk together the egg whites, mashed bananas, brown sugar, milk, and canola oil until smooth.
- Gradually stir the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients, ensuring the mixture is just moistened. Avoid overmixing.
- Fold in the chopped pecans gently into the batter.
- Distribute the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
- Bake the muffins for 15-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.
- Once baked, allow the muffins to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
