Ingredients

  • 2 bananas
  • 1 cup milk
  • 4 eggs
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon sea salt
  • 3 cups rolled oats

Instructions

  • Add the bananas and milk to a blender, and blend until smooth.
  • Add the eggs, maple syrup, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon to the blender with the banana and milk, and blend until just smooth.
  • Add the oats to the blender with the rest of the ingredients and do a quick blend (just to combine the oats, not to break them down). Let the mixture sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
  • While the mixture sits, preheat the oven to 350°F and a grease (or line) a muffin pan.
  • Divide the mixture between each muffin tin, and then bake for 25-30 minutes, until just golden.
  • Serve or store, and enjoy!

Notes

Ingredient Variations and Modifications
  • Make a chocolate version - for a chocolatey twist on the classic, add 6 tablespoons (a ¼ cup plus 2 tablespoons) of cocoa powder and a cup of chocolate chips. Know that if you go this route, you’ll likely end up with more than 12 oatmeal cups (the addition of cocoa powder and chocolate chips increases the total volume quite a bit!).
  • Play with the add-ins - this is where it really gets fun! Add a dollop of Nutella, jam, or nut butter right into the oatmeal mixture, or top your oat cups with sliced bananas, berries, shredded coconut, nuts and brown sugar, or pumpkin pie spice. The sky’s the limit here, y’all!
  • Make an oatmeal raisin cookie version - are you a sucker for oatmeal raisin cookies? Mix 1 tablespoon of molasses, a pinch of ginger, and a handful of raisins into the oat mixture for some serious oatmeal cookie vibes.
