Banana Oatmeal Muffin

I saw this banana oatmeal muffin recipe from Do What I Like. She adapted this recipe from Cheaphealthygood. I have the same reason of making this muffins...clearing some stuff from kitchen!

I'm sure most of the kitchen has the same problem. Keeping little bit of this and that from previous baking. Since I have some very ripe banana, ground black sesame powder, dried cranberries and dates in the fridge, this recipe is good to go!

Originally this banana oatmeal muffin recipe is using all oat flour. Since I want to save the trouble of grinding oatmeal, I replace with cake flour.

I'm happy with the results. The texture of this banana oatmeal muffin is very moist and soft! My kids like it! Do give a try if you have some leftover to clear in your kitchen too :D

I have done some adjustment to suite my taste.
