Baked Oatmeal Cups

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 ripe banana, mashed
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)
  • 1/2 cup fresh berries or diced fruit (optional)
  • Cooking spray or paper liners

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together the mashed banana, milk, honey or maple syrup, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until everything is evenly combined. If desired, fold in chopped nuts or seeds and fresh berries or diced fruit.
  5. Divide the oatmeal mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  7. Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Once cooled, store the oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They can also be frozen for longer storage.
