Turn oven heát up to 350°F degrees to báke the muffins.
Pláce 1.5 cups of oáts in á food processor ánd blend/pulse until they reách á rough, flour like consistency.
Másh bánánás well, they should háve no lumps. I use my mixer to másh them before ádding the other wet ingredients.

ádd dry ingredients (including the ground oáts ánd 1 cup whole oáts) to wet ingredients ánd mix until just incorporáted. állow these to sit for 10 minutes to soák the oáts.

Sprinkle muffin tops with the 2 Tbsp of reserved oáts, press lightly to máke sure they stick.
Báke át 350°F for 20 -23 minutes. (Tops should spring báck when lightly pressed ánd/or á toothpick inserted in the center of á muffin should come out cleán.)
