Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).

Mash 2 ripe bananas in a plate until chunky.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1 and 3/4 cups whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; mix well.

In another bowl, combine the mashed bananas, 1/2 cup maple syrup, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 1/4 cup oat milk, and 1/3 cup olive oil; whisk until combined.

Ladle the batter into the muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full.

Bake in the preheated oven for 13 to 20 minutes, checking at 15 minutes for doneness.

Remove from the oven when muffins are golden and a toothpick comes out clean.
