Ingredients

Scale

Banana Oat Cup Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp honey (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chopped nuts or seeds (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking the mini banana oat cups.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a mixing bowl, mash the ripe bananas thoroughly until smooth to create the base for your oat cups.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add the rolled oats, cinnamon, vanilla extract, milk, and honey (if using) to the mashed bananas. Mix all ingredients well to form a consistent batter.
  4. Add Nuts or Seeds: Fold in the chopped nuts or seeds if you desire some crunch and extra nutrition in your oat cups.
  5. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into a greased mini muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full to allow room for baking expansion.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the mini cups cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the tin. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

  • You can substitute the milk with any plant-based alternative like almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free version.
  • Honey is optional and can be omitted or replaced with maple syrup or agave nectar for a vegan version.
  • These mini cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days or frozen for longer storage.
  • Add-ins like chocolate chips, dried fruits, or shredded coconut can be included to vary the flavor.
  • Use a non-stick spray or lightly grease the muffin tin to prevent sticking.
