Ingredients
Scale
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)
Fruit
- 1 and 1/2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen)
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare Pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard muffin pan with baking spray or line it with paper liners and set aside.
- Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, honey, vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk everything together until smooth and well blended.
- Add Dry Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the wet mixture. Whisk again until all ingredients are evenly combined and you have a thick batter.
- Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the batter, distributing them evenly without smashing.
- Fill Muffin Cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup about three-quarters full. Optionally, add a few extra blueberries on top for decoration.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to add a few extra minutes to the baking time.
- Cool: Let the oatmeal cups cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store: Store cooled cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and best flavor.
- Fresh or frozen blueberries both work; adjust baking time if frozen.
- Substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
- Can be served warm or cold, enjoy as a breakfast or snack.
- For a nut-free version, use cow’s milk or oat milk instead of almond milk.
- Do not overfill muffin cups to avoid overflow during baking.
