Baked oatmeal muffin cups are a wholesome, portable breakfast or snack made with oats, fruit, and natural sweeteners. They’re soft, chewy, and perfect for meal prep or busy mornings.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 1 cup mashed ripe bananas or unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)
  • 2 eggs or flax eggs
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup or honey
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Optional mix-ins: 1/2 cup berries, chocolate chips, chopped nuts, dried fruit, cinnamon

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix oats, baking powder, salt, and any dry add-ins like cinnamon or nuts.
  3. In another bowl, whisk together mashed banana or applesauce, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract.
  4. Combine the wet and dry ingredients until fully incorporated.
  5. Fold in any optional mix-ins like berries or chocolate chips.
  6. Scoop the batter evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full.
  7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
  8. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Use certified gluten-free oats to keep the recipe gluten-free.
  • Very ripe bananas provide the best natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Store in the fridge for longer freshness and freeze for batch prep.
  • Add your favorite mix-ins to customize flavor and texture.
