Why do I struggle so much with eating a healthy breakfast? No oatmeal. No cereal. No yogurt. I know it sounds weird but if I didn’t have to explain what I just microwaved to my coworkers, I’d totally go leftovers for breakfast. Like taco stuff. Leftover pizza. Or pasta. Leftover porcupines (Meatballs. Don’t panic.). Roast and potatoes. YUM! But, I am really trying to start my days a little healthier. I decided that if I have to eat oatmeal, then I was going to jazz it up, make it totally tasty and not hate every bite. So, say hello to my little friends …

These Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal Cups are hearty, healthy and freezer friendly! Top with bananas, walnuts and a drizzle of syrup for a delicious breakfast!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups oats (quick cook or old fashioned)
  • 1 teas baking powder
  • 1 teas apple pie spice
  • 1/4 teas salt
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup walnut pieces
  • 1/2 cup banana (mashed/pureed)
  • 1 1/2 cup milk
  • 2 tbsp melted butter or coconut oil
  • 1 tbsp vanilla, almond or banana extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and prepare a 12-well muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, mix all 6 dry ingredients together.
  3. In a second bowl, mix all 4 wet ingredients together.
  4. Add wet ingredients into dry ingredients and mix until combined.
  5. Divide mixture between the cups of the muffin tin.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until cups are baked through and golden brown.
  7. Cool for a few minutes before removing the baked oatmeal cups from the muffin tin.
  8. Top with sliced bananas, walnut and a drizzle of maple syrup.

Notes

Substitutions: You can substitute ground cinnamon or pumpkin pie spice for the apple pie spice. You can substitute any fruit puree for the mashed banana (I actually used 2 banana applesauce pouches because my bananas were not ripe). I used whole milk, but you can use any nut milk or even skim milk. // Storage Tips:  Store baked and cooled oatmeal cups in an air-tight container for 2-3 days. To freeze, wrap each oatmeal cup in plastic wrap and store in a zip top freezer bag in the freezer. Remove from freezer and reheat in the microwave for 30-45 seconds or until warm.
