Today, we're sharing one of our favorite breakfast recipes: Banana Oat Muffins. These muffins are a great way to start your child's day off right with a serving of whole grains, fruit, and a touch of sweetness. They're also a great option for on-the-go mornings or as a healthy snack to pack in your child's lunch.

Banana Oat Muffins

Ingredients:

• 1 cup rolled oats
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup milk
• 1/4 cup melted butter
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 ripe banana, mashed

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 350°F. Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin cups.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and brown sugar.
3. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, then add the milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and mashed banana. Stir until well combined.
4. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
5. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling them about 2/3 full.
6. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
7. Let the muffins cool for 5 minutes before removing them from the tin.

These muffins are moist, sweet, and delicious, and they're a great way to sneak in some extra nutrients and whole grains. They're also easy to make and perfect for busy mornings, and they can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week. You can also freeze them for up to 3 months.
