Baked Banana-Nut Oatmeal Cups: Where Muffins Meet Oatmeal

These aren't your average muffins. They're a delightful fusion of muffin-like indulgence and wholesome oatmeal goodness. These grab-and-go cups are moist, flavorful, and perfect for busy mornings or a quick and healthy snack.

A Wholesome Twist on a Classic

These oatmeal cups are designed with your well-being in mind. They're crafted with a mindful amount of brown sugar, relying on the natural sweetness of bananas, cinnamon, and vanilla to enhance their flavor. Rolled oats, a nutritional powerhouse, provide a hearty dose of soluble fiber, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels and keeps you feeling satiated. And the individual portions? Not only are they convenient, but they also help with portion control, making it easier to manage your intake.

Crafting Wholesome Delights

Ingredients:

• 3 cups rolled oats (ensure gluten-free if necessary)
• 1 ½ cups low-fat milk
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about ¾ cup)
• ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup toasted chopped pecans

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.
2. In a large bowl, combine the oats, milk, mashed bananas, brown sugar, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt.
3. Gently fold in the pecans.
4. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, about ⅓ cup each.
5. Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
6. Let the cups cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature.

A Note for Gluten Sensitivity

Individuals with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity should opt for oats explicitly labeled gluten-free, as cross-contamination with wheat and barley can occur during processing.
