Equipment

Muffin pan

Ingredients

2 medium ripe bananas
2 eggs large
⅓ to ½ cup light brown sugar not packed (depending on the size and sweetness of the banana)
½ cup almond butter or peanut butter
¼ cup melted coconut oil not hot
1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
1 cup milk
3 cups rolled oats

Toppings (optional)

Semi-sweet chocolate chips
Sliced almonds
Pumpkin seeds

Instructions

Prep. Preheat the oven to 350°F and generously spray a standard 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray, making sure every cup is well coated.
👉 I recommend skipping paper liners, as these tend to stick—greasing the pan really well works best.
Mix wet ingredients. Place peeled bananas in a large bowl and mash until smooth. Add eggs, almond or peanut butter, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Whisk until very smooth.
Finish batter. Mix in the milk and then stir in oats.
Transfer to muffin tin. Evenly divide the batter among the prepared muffin cups, making sure each one has a good balance of oats and liquid. Sprinkle with any desired toppings.
Bake. Bake for 24 to 28 minutes, or until the top is deep golden in color. Transfer pan to a wire rack and cool completely.
To remove, gently run a thin knife along the edges to loosen, then carefully lift them out of the pan. They release easily, but the oatmeal cups are tender, so handle with care.

Notes

The batter will be liquidy -When dividing the batter among the muffin cups, ensure each cup contains both liquid and oats.

Skip paper liners - The baked oatmeal cups tend to stick to the liners regardless, so I suggest omitting them. Instead, generously grease the muffin pan with cooking spray.

Do not make batter ahead of time - Avoid preparing the batter ahead of time, as the oats will absorb the liquid. Whisk everything together just before baking for optimal results.
