I love a good oatmeal muffin, I can't eat oatmeal as a meal, just the texture of sloppy oatmeal is something I have never been able to get over lol 😉 but put that stuff in a muffin and I am all over it!! Muffins are a great grab and go breakfast or afternoon pick me up snack and these banana walnut oatmeal muffins are delicious!! The little drizzle of honey on top leaves a satisfying sweetness in your mouth after every bite.. I have a fellow weight watcher friend that just happened to stop by on baking day and she gave them two thumbs up (thanks Victoria). These tasty muffins are just 3 smart points each..

Tried this recipe?Let us know how it was!
Jenny
These look delish! My question is CAN you use quick oats? I have everything in the house except I only have quick oats. Thanks!
Drizzle
I would think they should still bake up ok 🙂
Susab
Wondering why whole egg plus egg whites?
Drizzle
Just a preference, and two yolks would of been to much
Libby
Did you use a mini muffin tin or a regular size? Thanks!
Drizzle
These are in a regular tin
Sara
Do you think this would freeze well? I don't need all this yummy goodness sitting out for me to eat all 12 hahaha
Drizzle
Hi Sara, yes all my muffins freeze well 🙂
Courtney
Do you think fat free Greek yogurt could replace the milk?
Drizzle
You can try but you it is a different consistency
Janice Jackson
I must say I thought I was the only person that felt this way about oatmeal. I can't deal with the texture of regular oatmeal. I was so excited to find this recipe. Just put in the oven. I can't wait to taste.
Drizzle
Hi Janice, hope you enjoy the mufffins, nope don't think I will ever like oatmeal as is lol , and don't even get me started on overnight oats (YUK)
Brenda Bartell
Don’t have any honey can I omit
Drizzle
Sure.. it just finishes them of with a little sweetness is all, you could replace with maple syrup?
Erica
This recipe doesn't call out using low point subs like Truvia brown sugar or almond milk, am I right?
Drizzle
Hi Erica, I'm not too sure what you are asking, you can substitute if you'd like
Doris Smithson Temple
These look yummy ! Would the Freestyle points change if the nuts were omitted ?? We have a family member with nut allergies ...also can I leave out the honey and not add syrup or anything in its' place ?? thanks
Drizzle
Hi Doris, the nuts are 6Sp and the honey is 4SP, you'd need to replace the honey with something though, maybe add an extra egg white or even a little milk , hope that helps
Karson
Dont let these soccer moms drag you. you are a muffin queen and no one can bring you down.make those peasants BOWW down . they have NOTHING on you. Muffin QUEEEEN. these were the best thank you Drizzle
Drizzle
Haha!! So glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Darlene
I hate oatmeal. The texture gets me every time I think I should try it again. So I gave these a try and have to say when they are warm they are delicious. Everyone really likes them in my house. They have become a regular for us. I make double batches and freeze them and they freeze really well.
Drizzle
Hi Darlene, I am so happy to hear that and I get it.. the only way I eat oatmeal is in a muffin or cookie, I hate oats as a meal and don't even get me started on overnight oats yuk lol .. so glad you gave them a go 🙂
Patricia
These are really fantastic. Thank you for this recipe!
Drizzle
You are very welcome, so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Arlene
Came across this recipe. Made them exactly as recipe says except I put a little extra chopped walnuts. They came out Delicious! I will enjoy two over the weekend, and freeze the rest for each weekend. Thank you for a great recipe. I don't follow WW, but still look for recipes like these to have a healthier snack! 👍
Rosamond Crawley
I just tried these muffins and they are so yummy!! I did substitute the brown sugar with Sukrin Brown Sugar Substitute. Since I haven't tried them with "real" brown sugar, I don't know if it tastes a little different but they are excellent even with the substitute. AND by subbing the brown sugar, the Smart Points dropped to 2 instead of 3.
Drizzle
Awesome, that is great it lowered it to 2, thanks for sharing and so glad you enjoyed them 🙂
Marilyn
My husband and I really like these muffins. Thank you for this recipe where I could use my ripe bananas!!
Drizzle
You are very welcome, so glad you both enjoy them 🙂
Donna Shank
the recipe doesn't say what type of oatmeal. I have old fashioned, will this work?
Drizzle
Yes they will work, I usually use quick oats but any are fine
Michele
Just made these and they are so delicious, can't believe they are so low in points. I didn't add all the brown sugar on top and when I put it into the recipe calculator they came out to 1 SP on Purple! Thanks for posting it, these will certainly go in my rotation. I'm eating my muffin this morning broken up into fat free greek yogurt with extra cinnamon on top!
Drizzle
That sounds delicious, so glad you enjoyed the muffins and you can't beat 1 point!! 🙂
Janice
I made these today and we love them! The trick will be to eat just one ?
Drizzle
Awesome, so glad you all enjoyed them 🙂
Brooke
These are great! It’s so hard finding WW friendly and toddler friendly baked goods that don’t have artificial sweetener in them! I’m freezing half of them but how do you recommend storing them? Fridge or is the counter fine?
Drizzle
Hi Brooke, sorry might be too late in answering for this batch but typically after day 1 I store all muffins either in the fridge or freezer, due to ingredients used they do best in the fridge (if not freezing them)
