Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Spread the rolled oats in a thin layer on a baking sheet and toast for about [timer minutes=10]10 to 15 minutes[/timer]. Let the oats cool.
Process the toasted oats in a food processor until finely ground and set aside. (You should get about 1½ cups oats flour.)
Using the back of a fork mash the ripe bananas in a medium bowl.
Whisk the olive oil with honey until well combined.
Add the eggs, and whisk them one at a time into the mixture.
Next add the mashed bananas and stir it in. Then add the yogurt and stir.
Add vanilla, ground cinnamon, baking powder, baking soda and salt, making sure to whisk after adding each of these.
Mix the ground oats and flour into the mixture and make a thick batter that forms a mound with a scoop.
Finally add the chopped walnuts and raisins and stir.
Prepare a muffin pan with butter and dust with flour. Or line with paper muffin liners.
Spoon the batter almost full into the muffin cups. Bake at 350 degree F for about [timer minutes=18]18 to 20 minutes[/timer], until a cake tester inserted comes out clean and the muffins tops are golden brown.
Tip: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and then lower to 350 degrees F prior to baking.
