Spiced Banana Oatmeal Muffins

There is nothing better than quick bread to make a meal complete.  Gather your ingredients, mix by hand, bake for 20 minutes, and you are ready to serve.  I love to serve muffins with a hot soup main dish.  Yesterday I thought I would add oatmeal and a few spices.
The results were perfect for dinner and for breakfast the next morning!

Ingredients (serves 12):
1 1/2 cups flour (or a combination of white and whole wheat flour)
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 bananas (3 small bananas)
1 egg
5 1/3 tablespoons melted unsalted butter (1/3 cup)
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup dry oatmeal
3/4 cup brown sugar

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Whisk together flour, spices, salt, baking powder, and baking soda in a medium bowl.

In a large bowl, whisk butter and sugar.  Add egg and vanilla.

Add bananas.  Mix completely.
Stir the egg mixture into the flour mix only until blended.

 

 

Mix in oats.  Spoon batter into paper lined muffin pan.

Bake for 20 minutes or until muffins are golden brown.

Cool, serve, and enjoy!  ♥
