Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a 12-count muffin pan with nonstick spray or cupcake liners.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, eggs, mashed bananas, almond butter, honey, and vanilla until smooth.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together rolled oats, quick-cooking oats, almond flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
Baking
  1. Spoon the batter into muffin liners, filling them to the top for a nice dome.
  2. Bake in the preheated oven for 19-21 minutes, checking towards the end to prevent overbaking.
  3. Allow muffins to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For the best flavor, use very ripe bananas. Substitute almond butter with peanut butter or sunflower seed butter for variation. Feel free to add in chopped nuts or dried fruits.
