Ingredients
  • 1¼ cups old fashioned oats (quick oats would work, too if that’s what you have on hand)
  • ½ cup low-fat milk
  • ½ cup plain or vanilla low-fat yogurt (I used plain Greek yogurt)
  • 1½ cup flour (all purpose, whole wheat, or oat- or a blend of these- will all work
  • ½ cup brown sugar
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon nutmeg
  • pinch of salt (optional)
  • 2 large bananas, mashed
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • ⅓ cup oil (canola, vegetable, sunflower, coconut, whatever suits)
  • ¼ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup dried cranberries
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans
Instructions
  1. Pre-heat the oven to 400 and lightly grease a muffin pan or line with paper liners.
  2. In a medium bowl combine the oats, yogurt and milk. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pinch of salt.
  4. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and gradually stir in the oat/yogurt/milk mix, the smashed bananas, and the lightly beaten egg.
  5. Stir in the cranberries, coconut, and pecans.
  6. Fill muffin cups to about ⅔ full and bake for 16-20 minutes.
