Description
Delicious and healthy banana oatmeal cups that are easy to make and perfect for breakfast or snacks.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 2 eggs (large)
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup light brown sugar (not packed, depending on the size and sweetness of the banana)
- 1/2 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)
- 1/4 cup melted coconut oil (not hot)
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup milk
- 3 cups rolled oats
- Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- Sliced almonds
- Pumpkin seeds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray, making sure every cup is well coated. I recommend skipping paper liners, as these tend to stick—greasing the pan really well works best.
- Place peeled bananas in a large bowl and mash until smooth. Add eggs, almond or peanut butter, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until very smooth.
- Mix in the milk and then stir in oats.
- Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, making sure each one has a good balance of oats and liquid. Sprinkle with any desired toppings.
- Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, or until the top is deep golden in color. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
- To remove, gently run a thin knife along the edges to loosen, then carefully lift them out of the pan. They release easily, but the oatmeal cups are tender, so handle with care.
Notes
- These cups can be customized with various toppings like nuts or chocolate chips.
- Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
