Moist and tender baked oatmeal cups with the comforting flavors of banana bread, perfect for a quick and fuss-free breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats (135 g)
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup unsweetened almond milk (240 ml)
  • 1/4 cup plain Greek yogurt (60 g)
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar (50 g)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional, 60 g)
  • 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips (optional, 55 g)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease your muffin tin with butter or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute evenly.
  3. In a large bowl, mash the ripe bananas until mostly smooth with some small lumps. Add eggs, almond milk, Greek yogurt, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the dry oat mixture into the wet ingredients. Gently fold together with a spatula until just combined. Add more almond milk by tablespoon if batter is too thick.
  5. Fold in optional chopped nuts or mini chocolate chips if using.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among 12 prepared muffin cups. Smooth the tops gently.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, checking at 25 minutes with a toothpick. It should come out mostly clean with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  9. Serve warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days or freeze for longer storage.

Notes

Grease the muffin tin well to prevent sticking. Avoid overmixing the batter to keep the cups tender. Start checking for doneness at 25 minutes to avoid drying out. Let batter sit for 5 minutes before scooping to soften oats. Optional mix-ins like nuts or chocolate chips add texture and flavor.
