Ingredients

For the muffins

4 bananas, peeled and sliced (NOT overly ripe)
1 cup oats, pulsed through a food processor until coarse flour forms
1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 cup half and half
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
2 eggs
5 tablespoons melted butter
2-3 tablespoons raw honey or real maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the topping

1/3 cup oats
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tablespoon raw honey or real maple syrup

Steps

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Slice the 4 bananas into rounds. Line a 2 teaspoons baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray generously with nonstick cooking spray. Place the bananas on the baking sheet and bake for 5-10 minutes, flipping once and removing from the oven when the bananas are deep golden brown on the outside. Transfer to a bowl and mash the bananas with a wooden spoon.
5-10 min
Break down the 1 cup oats in a food processor until a flour-like meal is formed. This should yield a little more than ¾ cup. Combine the oat flour, ¼ cup + 2 tablespoons whole wheat flour, 2 teaspoons baking powder, ½ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon nutmeg in a large bowl. Stir to combine.
In a separate bowl, whisk the ½ cup half and half, ¼ cup Greek yogurt, 2 eggs, 5 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon vanilla, and 2-3 tablespoons honey until smooth. Make a well in the dry ingredients and add the wet to the dry. Stir around the bowl just 10 times until the batter is just barely combined (if you stir too much during this step, your muffins are going to have a gummy, chewy consistency). Fold the caramelized 4 bananas into the mixture, stirring just 5 more times.
Transfer the batter to a greased 6 or 12 cup muffin tin. Mix the topping ingredients together and spoon over the muffins. Bake for 10-15 minutes, until the muffins are puffed slightly and spring back when you touch the tops.
