These Banana Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Muffins are a great portable breakfast idea!
I make a lot of variations of baked oatmeal muffins since I first started making them almost four years ago. I don’t always think about putting the new recipes here on the blog. I mean, how many baked oatmeal muffins recipes does one need on a blog? Am I right?
The third time I made this particular variety, however, my 7-year-0ld daughter, Meghan, said, “Did you put this one on your blog yet? This is my favorite kind.” I was pretty much forced to post this recipe, wouldn’t you agree?
If you love the banana and chocolate combination, you will love these. Besides the chocolate chips, the muffins are only sweetened with the banana. 2 full bananas give them a nice banana flavor that banana lovers will adore.
The reason I keep making baked oatmeal muffins so often is they are so easy and the kids love them. 
You mix everything together in one bowl. You can even mix it together the night before and bake it in the morning. Make a double batch so they last all week long and you have a portable baked oatmeal you can eat on the go.
Baked Oatmeal Muffins FAQs
Because I always get the same questions about these recipes. 🙂
- Yes, these do work with a flax or chia egg if you would like to make them vegan.
- I usually make them in these silicone baking cups. The muffin cups pop right out easily and it makes for the easiest clean up. You can also grease your muffin cups. I have not tried paper liners, but I imagine it would work also.
- Yes, you can mix it together the night before and bake it in the morning.
- The texture of these is meant to be creamy in the middle like baked oatmeal. Cook them longer for a less creamy texture. They will be more firm the second day.
- These are best eaten within 5 days and stored in the refrigerator.
If you haven’t tried baked oatmeal muffins yet, it’s time to jump on the bandwagon!

I am not much of a cook. I can probably count how many times I’ve baked something in my life but I have been doing a little more of it these last few months and my 5 year old likes to help. We tried these muffins today and they are great! Love all the ingredients. I got part way through dumping stuff in the bowl when I realized I only had one cup of oats left so we subbed one cup of ground flax seeds for the rest and that seemed to work fine. Thanks so much for sharing this recipe!

I made this recipe this evening and my husband loved it! So clean, healthy and easy to make! The best part is that it is moist. I used mini chocolate chips and added an extra 1/3 cup for fun!
Can’t wait to share with my co-workers! Thank you for the recipe Maryea!

So very glad to hear this!
I just made these and decided to use paper liners,for easier clean up, the taste was good but I don’t recommend using the liners, they stuck terrible and I even sprayed them
★★★★
This is quite a good recipe!! I liked eating it at lot, they just didn’t get crispy as I had hoped. The bottoms were still a bit moist after letting them cool overnight.
★★★★
So yummy! I added raisins to them.
Oooh good idea!
These muffins are the easiest, most delicious breakfast food. Even my pancake-only loving toddler will have a few for breakfast happily. I’ve been making them for a few years and without fail they always disappear quickly.
I realized this morning that I only had one cup of oats, so I added flour as the other cup and they still came out perfectly.
