To make a batch of these bakery-style banana oatmeal pecan muffins, you will need the following –

3/4 C All-Purpose Flour
3/4 C Quick Cooking Oats
1 tsp Baking Powder
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon
1/2 tsp Baking Soda
1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
2 Egg Whites
1 C Banana, mashed (approx 2 bananas)
1/2 C Brown Sugar, packed
1/4 C Milk
1/4 C Canola Oil
1/2 C Pecans, chopped

Equipment you will need –

Muffin Tin
Muffin Liners
Scoop
Mixing bowls
Whisk
Wire Rack

Preheat the oven to 400F and move your rack to the middle of the oven.

In a bowl, combine the flour, oatmeal, baking powder, cinnamon, baking soda, and nutmeg. Use a whisk and stir it until well combined.

In another bowl, combine the egg whites, banana, brown sugar, milk, and oil. Stir until combined.

Add the flour mixture to your egg mixture and stir until combined. Be careful to not overmix.

Fold in the pecans.

Place the muffin liners in your muffin tin. This recipe will make 11-12 muffins, depending on how large your bananas are and how much you fill the muffin liners.

Scoop the mixture into the muffin liners until they are about 3/4 full. This is a dense muffin without much rise.

Sprinkle the top with a few chopped pecans.

Bake for 15-20 minutes. Use a toothpick to test if the muffin is done. When you can stick the toothpick into the center of the muffin and it comes out clean, then you know your muffins are done.

Let the muffins cook for about 5 minutes in the muffin tin then move them to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Store in an airtight container for 3-5 days on the counter or 4-7 days in the refrigerator.

And there you have it—a warm, wholesome banana oatmeal pecan muffin that’s as comforting as it is delicious. With its soft banana base, hearty oats, and a buttery crunch of pecans, this muffin strikes the perfect balance between indulgence and nourishment. Whether you’re baking a batch for lazy weekend mornings or prepping for busy weekdays, these muffins are sure to become a favorite. Enjoy every bite fresh out of the oven… and don’t forget to save one for later (if you can)!
