I combined elements from a couple of different muffin recipes, then adjusted them to fit my own definition of a healthy treat. Moist and flavorful, the results were delicious. A bonus is that these muffins are 100% whole grain and packed with fruit, yogurt, and flax (not that my kids noticed). I ate mine split and spread with the organic superfruit spread that I buy at Trader Joe's, which made for an extra-special treat. Perfect for after-school snacks and nutritious enough to serve for breakfast. Grind oats in a food processor or blender. Can also use whole wheat or white whole wheat flour.

How To Make yogurt and banana oatmeal muffins

Step 1

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a bowl of a mixer, combine the rolled oats, yogurt, milk, and honey.

Step 2

Let it stand 10 minutes. This is a good time to grind your oats for oat flour, if using.
Step 3

In another bowl, combine oat flour, sugar, flax, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
Step 4

Beat the banana, egg, and oil into the oat mixture in the mixing bowl.
Step 5

Then blend in the flour mixture.
Step 6

Mix until just combined.
Step 7

Stir in any add-ins.
Step 8

Fill greased or paper-lined muffin cups 2/3 full.
Step 9

Bake for about 15 minutes or until a toothpick in the center comes out clean.
Step 10

Let them sit in pans for a minute or two. Then remove to wire racks to cool.
