Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (180 degrees C).
Mash the bananas in a bowl until smooth.
Add in the milk, vanilla, and egg and whisk until combined.
Blend the oats into a flour and add it to a bowl.
Add the baking powder, and cinnamon to the bowl with the ground oats and mix until combined.
Add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet ingredients. Mix until combined.
Fold in the finely chopped nuts.
Pour the mixture into a mini muffin pan. Bake for 15 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean.

This recipe makes 20 mini muffins. You may make regular-sized muffins by adding a few more minutes to the total bake time. You may also bake in a loaf pan to make banana bread.
Be sure to use very ripe bananas with brown spots. The bananas provide the main sweetness in these muffins, so the ripper, the better.
These muffins are not that sweet, so if you prefer a sweeter muffin, add 1-2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
I like to use a silicone muffin pan to bake these muffins as they pop out easily without any sticking. If using a regular mini muffin pan, be sure to coat with a cooking spray beforehand.
