Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups (200g) rolled oats
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/2 cup (120ml) milk
- 1/4 cup (60g) peanut butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Optional mix-ins: 1/4 cup (60g) chocolate chips, 2 tbsp chopped nuts, 2 tbsp dried fruit
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with silicone liners.
- In a medium mixing bowl, mash 2 ripe bananas with a fork until smooth.
- To the bananas, add 1/2 cup (120ml) milk, 1/4 cup (60g) peanut butter, 2 large eggs, 1/4 cup (60ml) honey or maple syrup, and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined.
- In a separate large bowl, stir together 2 cups (200g) rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon, and 1/4 tsp salt.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the texture light.
- If desired, gently fold in any mix-ins, such as 1/4 cup (60g) chocolate chips, 2 tbsp chopped nuts, or 2 tbsp dried fruit.
- Divide the batter evenly among the 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Remove the oatmeal cups from the oven and let them cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or let them cool completely before storing.
Notes
[‘Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness.’, ‘Don’t overmix to avoid dense oatmeal cups.’, ‘Grease your muffin tin well or use silicone liners for easy removal.’, ‘Customize with your favorite mix-ins, but avoid adding too many extras to maintain texture.’, ‘Check for doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cup—it should come out clean.’]
