  • 3 medium330 gBananavery ripe
  • 1¼ cups160 gAll-purpose flour

  • ⅓ cup70 gCanola oil
  • 1¼ tsp5 gVanilla extract
  • ¾ cup120 gSemisweet chocolate chips
  • 1 tbsp12 gGranulated sugar

Steps

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners.
  2. Divide the oats: set aside about one-sixth of the oats for the topping. Stir the remaining five-sixths of the oats with the buttermilk in a medium bowl and let soak for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon.
  4. In another bowl, mash the banana, then whisk in the egg, brown sugar, canola oil and vanilla until smooth. Stir in the soaked oat and buttermilk mixture.
  5. Pour the banana mixture into the flour mixture and fold gently until just a few streaks of flour remain. Fold in the chocolate chips; do not overmix.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the 12 cups, filling them nearly to the top.
  7. For the topping, stir the reserved oats with the granulated sugar and sprinkle the oat-sugar mixture evenly over the muffins.
  8. Bake for 5 minutes at 400°F (200°C), then lower the heat to 350°F (175°C) and bake 13 to 15 minutes more, until domed, golden and a toothpick in the center comes out clean (melted chocolate is fine, but no wet batter).
  9. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then move the muffins to a rack and cool at least 15 minutes more before serving.
