Description
Banana Peanut Butter Baked Oatmeal Cups offer delightful flavors and simple preparation. With ripe bananas, peanut butter, and chocolate chips, these cups make a perfect healthy breakfast or comforting snack.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup mashed banana (about 1 large ripe banana)
- ¼ cup natural peanut butter
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
- ⅓ cup milk of choice
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats
- ½ teaspoon baking powder
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ¼ cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a standard muffin pan with 6 paper liners and lightly grease them with cooking spray.
- In a mixing bowl, mash the banana with a fork until mostly smooth. Add the egg, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), milk, and vanilla. Whisk until well combined.
- Mix in the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon until evenly blended. Fold in the chocolate chips last.
- Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling them almost to the top. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until set and lightly golden. Allow to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an air-tight container for up to 5 days.
Notes
These oatmeal cups can easily be doubled for larger batches.
Feel free to substitute almond butter or other nut butters in place of peanut butter.
Add nuts or seeds for extra texture and nutrients.
