Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips or chopped nuts (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

    Mix wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated and creamy.

      Combine dry ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt until evenly mixed.

        Combine mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If using, fold in the chocolate chips or chopped nuts at this stage.

          Fill the muffin tin: Evenly distribute the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. This will allow room for the oatmeal to rise as it bakes.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool down: Once baked, remove the oatmeal cups from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5-10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve & Enjoy: These oatmeal cups can be served warm or stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. They also freeze well - simply thaw and reheat before serving.
