Description

These Blueberry Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups are a wholesome and delicious breakfast or snack option, combining the natural sweetness of bananas and blueberries with hearty rolled oats. Baked to perfection, these cups are moist, flavorful, and easy to make, perfect for busy mornings or on-the-go treats.

Ingredients

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 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

  1. Preheat and prepare muffin pan: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard muffin pan with baking spray or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking, then set it aside.
  2. Mix wet ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the mashed bananas, egg, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and almond milk. Whisk thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well blended.
  3. Add dry ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon into the wet mixture. Whisk until all dry ingredients are evenly incorporated into the batter.
  4. Fold in blueberries: Gently fold the blueberries into the oat batter to evenly distribute them without crushing the berries.
  5. Fill muffin cups: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Optionally, decorate the tops with a few extra blueberries for a nice presentation.
  6. Bake the oatmeal cups: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. If using frozen blueberries, you may need to add a few extra minutes of baking time.
  7. Cool the cups: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
  8. Store: Store the cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days to keep them fresh.

Notes

  • You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a vegan-friendly option.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used but may require longer baking time.
  • Use milk alternatives like oat or soy milk if preferred.
  • These oatmeal cups are great for meal prep and freeze well for longer storage.
  • Ensure the banana is ripe for optimal sweetness and moisture.
