Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 cup mashed bananas (2-3 ripe bananas)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup honey or maple syrup
  • 2/3 cup almond milk (or milk of your choice)

Add-ins

  • 1 and 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard 12-cup muffin pan with baking spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking, then set aside.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Whisk again until all ingredients are evenly combined to form the batter.
  4. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold in the blueberries, being careful especially if using frozen ones, to avoid breaking them and tinting the batter.
  5. Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into each muffin cup filling them about three quarters full. Optionally, place a few extra blueberries on top of each for decoration.
  6. Bake: Bake the oatmeal cups in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using frozen blueberries, baking time may need to be extended by 3-5 minutes.
  7. Cool: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Storage: Store the cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Notes

  • You can use fresh or frozen blueberries. If using frozen, do not thaw them before adding; fold them gently to avoid discoloring the batter. Extra baking time may be necessary.
  • Allow the baked oatmeal cups to cool completely before storing to prevent moisture buildup and sogginess.
