Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 ripe medium bananas, mashed
  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 1 ½ cups milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tablespoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • Non-stick cooking spray or paper liners (for muffin tin)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a standard 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or generously grease each cup with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas. Whisk in the 1 large egg, 1 ½ cups milk, ¼ cup maple syrup or honey, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk together the 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 tablespoon baking powder, ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon (if using), and ¼ teaspoon salt until evenly distributed.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Gently fold with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. If using optional additions like ½ cup chopped nuts, ¼ cup chia/flax seeds, or ¼ cup chocolate chips, gently fold them in now. Let the batter rest at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid and thicken.
  5. After the batter has rested and thickened, gently fold in the 1 cup of fresh or frozen blueberries until evenly distributed. Avoid overmixing.
  6. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin cups, filling each approximately ¾ full. Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the tops are golden brown, the centers are set, and a toothpick inserted comes out clean with no wet batter.
  7. Remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.
  8. Store completely cooled Blueberry Banana Oatmeal Cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4-5 days. For long-term storage, freeze them for up to 2-3 months in a freezer-safe bag or container. Reheat from the fridge in a microwave (30-60 seconds) or toaster oven (5-10 minutes). Reheat from frozen in a microwave (1-2 minutes) or oven (15-20 minutes at 350°F / 175°C) until warmed through.
