Ingredient allergen flags: Egg; Milk
Check actual labels and cross-contact. Allergen guidance and swaps
Soft banana muffins have a lightly cinnamon-scented oat crumb.

Ingredients
- 3 cups (240 g) rolled oats
- 3 medium bananas (354 g total, peeled), mashed
- 2 large eggs (100 g total without shells)
- 1 cup (244 g) 2% milk
- 2 Tbsp (27 g) olive oil
- 2 tsp (8 g) baking powder
- 1 tsp (2.6 g) ground cinnamon
Method
- Heat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper cases. Blend oats to a fine meal in a dry blender; combine with baking powder and cinnamon.
- Whisk banana, eggs, milk and oil. Stir into the oat mixture, then divide equally among the 12 cups. Do not taste raw batter.
- Bake 20-25 minutes, until the tops spring back and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Cool 10 minutes in the tin, then transfer to a rack.
Allergy / dietary substitutions
Milk: use tolerated soy drink (adds soy), or a suitable oat drink (check for wheat and other allergens). Egg: no egg-free version is specified; choose another recipe if needed. There are no peanut or tree-nut ingredients in the base; check oat, milk and baking-powder labels and prevent cross-contact.
Training-day additions
Pair with yogurt (adds milk) or tolerated soy yogurt (adds soy) and fruit.

How the nutrition estimates are made
Each recipe reports approximate calories, protein, carbohydrate and fat per equal serving of its stated base batch. P = protein; C = carbohydrate; F = fat.
One ingredient, one weighed amount
The source stores edible ingredient grams and a USDA FoodData Central SR Legacy record. Dry pasta, oats, rice and lentils use dry weights; raw and cooked meat use matching records. Water and measured seasonings are included.
The calculation
For each nutrient: multiply ingredient grams by the USDA value per 100 g, divide by 100, sum the batch and divide by servings. Round calories to the nearest 10 kcal and macronutrients to the nearest gram.
What can change the result
Brand, draining, natural variation and cooking losses affect the real meal. Canned black/white beans use cooked unsalted bean proxies. Red lentils use generic lentils. The method assumes all listed oil and edible food are consumed; it does not model nutrient retention or evaporation.
What the estimate does not claim
Sides, training-day additions, substitutions and allergy swaps are excluded. Sodium, vitamins and minerals are not reported. These are ingredient estimates, not laboratory results, an assessment of your whole diet or a daily intake target.
