Ingredients

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

Fruit

  • 1 cup fresh or frozen blueberries

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare Muffin Tin: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Generously grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners to prevent sticking.
  2. Mash Bananas: In a medium bowl, thoroughly mash the two ripe bananas with a fork or potato masher until smooth and creamy.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: Add the eggs, brown sugar, and vanilla extract to the mashed bananas. Whisk the mixture until well combined and smooth.
  4. Add Dry Ingredients: Stir in the rolled oats and baking powder into the wet ingredients. Mix just until combined to form a thick, slightly lumpy batter.
  5. Fold in Blueberries: Gently fold the fresh or frozen blueberries into the batter to evenly distribute them without breaking the berries.
  6. Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin cups, filling each between two-thirds and three-quarters full for optimal baking.
  7. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center of a cup comes out clean.
  8. Cool: Remove the muffin tin from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool for 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely before serving or storing.

Notes

  • Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture.
  • Paper liners make cleanup easier and prevent sticking.
  • Frozen blueberries can be used directly without thawing.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • These cups can be reheated in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving.
  • To make them vegan, substitute eggs with flax eggs and use maple syrup instead of brown sugar.
