# Ingredient List:

→ Wet Ingredients

01 - 2 large ripe bananas, mashed
02 - 2 large eggs
03 - 1/3 cup honey or maple syrup
04 - 1 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened plant-based)
05 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil or unsalted butter

→ Dry Ingredients

07 - 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
08 - 1 teaspoon baking powder
09 - 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
10 - 1/4 teaspoon salt

→ Optional Add-ins

11 - 1/3 cup chopped walnuts or pecans
12 - 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips
13 - 1/2 cup blueberries

→ Topping

14 - 1 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
15 - Additional sliced banana, honey, or nuts (optional)

# How to Make:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with oil or butter.
02 - In a large bowl, mash the bananas thoroughly. Whisk in eggs, honey or maple syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and melted coconut oil until smooth and well blended.
03 - In a separate bowl, combine old-fashioned rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir to distribute evenly.
04 - Add dry ingredients to the wet mixture and stir until just combined. Gently fold in any optional add-ins such as chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or berries if desired.
05 - Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full to allow for rising during baking.
06 - Bake for 22–25 minutes, or until the centers are set and the tops are lightly golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.
07 - Allow oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature with a dollop of Greek yogurt and optional toppings.

# Helpful Tips:

01 -
  • They taste like banana bread but happen to be packed with protein and fiber
  • You can grab one with one hand while hunting for your keys
  • The yogurt on top turns them into something you'd actually order at a cafe
02 -
  • Overmixing the batter makes dense gummy cups
  • Letting them cool completely before storing prevents condensation and sogginess
03 -
  • Use very ripe bananas with lots of brown spots for natural sweetness
  • Let the batter rest for 10 minutes before baking for fluffier results
