Baked Oatmeal Cups Recipe

I am always looking for healthy grab-and-go breakfast and options that don’t break the bank or take all day to prepare. This week I experimented with a new twist on muffins with oatmeal. The great thing about this recipe: You can keep it interesting by adding any flavor you wish.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe bananas
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup of low fat milk (regular, soy, goat, almond)
  • ¼ cup brown sugar
  • 1 tsp. baking powder
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. vanilla
  • 2 cups of oats
  • 1 cup of flavoring (chocolate chips, fruit, or any other creative ideas you have)
    In my photos you will see blackberry and chocolate chips (both were delicious).

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Combine bananas, vanilla, sugar, and egg and beat until smooth.
  3. Add baking powder, cinnamon, and oats.
  4. Stir in toppings.
  5. Fill muffin tins (I highly recommend the silicone ones) ½ to ¾ full.
  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until tops are golden brown.
  7. Serve warm or cold but store leftovers in the refrigerator.
