Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 large mashed banana (~1/2 cup mashed)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1/3 cup peanut butter
  • 1 cup plain, unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 tablespoon melted coconut oil

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 1/2 cup ground oat flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/3 cup chocolate chips (plus more for topping)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat the oven to 350ºF and generously spray a muffin tin with non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine rolled oats, ground oat flour, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and chocolate chips. Mix until evenly blended and set aside.
  3. Whisk Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Add mashed banana, honey, peanut butter, and almond milk, mixing thoroughly but excluding the melted coconut oil for now.
  4. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until fully incorporated and smooth.
  5. Fold in Coconut Oil: Gently fold the melted coconut oil into the batter to add moisture and richness.
  6. Fill Muffin Cups: Using a tablespoon or scoop, fill each muffin cup about three-quarters full with batter. Sprinkle additional chocolate chips on top for extra flavor and texture.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven at 350ºF for 16-18 minutes, or until the oatmeal cups are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  8. Add Sea Salt: Remove from the oven and immediately sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the tops to enhance the flavors.
  9. Cool and Remove: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool for 5 minutes before carefully removing them from the muffin tin to prevent breaking.
  10. Serve or Store: Enjoy the oatmeal cups warm or store them for later. They can be eaten immediately or refrigerated/frozen for meal prep convenience.

Notes

  • For gluten-free option, ensure oats and oat flour are certified gluten-free.
  • You can substitute the almond milk with any other plant-based or dairy milk of choice.
  • Adjust sweetness by adding more or less honey according to taste.
  • These cups freeze well—store in an airtight container in the freezer and thaw before eating.
  • Try adding chopped nuts or dried fruit for added texture and flavor.
  • Use non-stick spray generously to avoid sticking or use muffin liners if preferred.
