Ingredients

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 large eggs

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, chopped strawberries)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), optional

Cooking spray or parchment paper for lining

Instructions

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare the Muffin Tin: Lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with parchment paper liners to prevent sticking.

Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir to blend evenly.

Mix Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the mashed bananas, eggs, almond milk, honey (if using), and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

Combine Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. Gently fold in the mixed berries and nuts if you’re using them.

Fill the Muffin Cups: Scoop the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center.

Cool and Serve: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
