When my sister and I were kids, we lived close enough to take family trips to our cousins’ house in New Orleans and did so on a regular basis. One of the treats our aunt made while we were there were these delicious Banana Oatmeal Muffins. We loved them so much, Mom got the recipe and we made them pretty often after that. I’m adapting it slightly to suit our new Get Real and Wholefood lifestyle, but it was pretty close to “real” already.

The Results
I’ve always loved these banana oatmeal muffins and I think this whole food version is even better than the original. I also sometimes add a bit of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger.

I love that this recipe uses whole wheat flour and nothing else, making it a truly 100% whole wheat recipe. And banana is my all-time favorite fruit, so adding it to oatmeal…in a muffin? Sounds awesome! Can't wait to make these! I'm pinning this 🙂
These muffins are definitely one of my all-time favorites. Let me know if you try it; hope you like them.
