Baked Banana Oatmeal Cups are healthy, quick to make, and perfect for meal prepped breakfast throughout the week. Feel free to use a dairy-free milk if you want these oat cups to be vegan friendly. Made using natural and pantry ingredients for the perfect make-ahead breakfast or snack.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- Old Fashioned or Classic Rolled Oats
- Baking Powder
- Ground Cinnamon and Kosher Salt
- Vanilla Extract
- Milk – I used skim milk but dairy-free milk would work too!
- Mashed Ripe Bananas
- Maple Syrup
- Chocolate Chips – optional
How to make them:
- Preheat the oven and prepare the pan. First, preheat the oven to 350 F. Spray a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line with paper muffin cups.
- Mix up the Batter. Place all ingredients, except for the chocolate chips, in a large bowl and mix to combine until well blended. Allow to sit and rest for a few minutes. Then either fold in the chocolate chips or you can sprinkle on top.
- Pour Batter into Muffin Pan. Evenly transfer batter into prepared muffin pan. There will be 12 oatmeal cups.
- Bake the Oatmeal Cups. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes until the cups are set and the edges are lightly browned.
