Banana and Oat Muffin

The recipe that I got it somewhere but forgot where it is... The texture turned out to be a little chewy. I guess it's because of the oats. Elmo loves it though. Perhaps I should try with rolled oats next time. And not to forget to add some spices like cinnamon and nutmeg to give it a kick. Well... there is always room for improvement isn't it? :)
