Cuisine: American
Serves: 12 cups
Ingredients
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed
- 2 cups almond milk
- 1/2 cup blueberries
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). This allows the oven to reach the right temperature while you prepare the oatmeal cups.
- Gather all your ingredients: 2 cups of rolled oats, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon, 2 ripe bananas (mashed), 2 cups of almond milk, 1/2 cup of blueberries, and 1/4 cup of maple syrup.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon. Stir the dry ingredients together until well mixed.
- In another bowl, mash the ripe bananas until smooth. You can use a fork or a potato masher for this step.
- Add the almond milk and maple syrup to the mashed bananas. Mix well until everything is combined and smooth.
- Pour the banana mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined; avoid overmixing.
- Gently fold in the blueberries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line it with muffin liners. This will prevent the oatmeal cups from sticking.
- Evenly distribute the oatmeal mixture into the muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully remove the oatmeal cups from the tin and transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your Banana Blueberry Baked Oatmeal Cups warm or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They can be reheated in the microwave for a quick breakfast or snack!
Tips
- Use very ripe bananas for maximum natural sweetness and better binding of the ingredients.
- Don't overmix the batter - this can make your oatmeal cups tough instead of tender.
- For extra flavor, try adding a handful of chopped nuts or a sprinkle of chocolate chips.
- Make sure to grease your muffin tin well or use quality muffin liners to prevent sticking.
- These oatmeal cups can be frozen for up to a month - perfect for meal prep!
- For a protein boost, consider adding a scoop of your favorite protein powder to the dry ingredients.
- Let the oatmeal cups cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and maintain their texture.
