- 2 medium ripe bananas
- 1 cup blueberries
- 2 eggs
Sweeteners and Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Leavening and Binding:
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
Instructions
- Prepare a 12-cup muffin tin by lining with paper liners and heating the oven to 425°F for optimal baking conditions.
- In a large mixing bowl, thoroughly mash ripe bananas until smooth, then whisk in eggs until well incorporated.
- Introduce dry ingredients by stirring in rolled oats, baking powder, brown sugar, and vanilla extract, creating a cohesive wet mixture.
- Delicately incorporate fresh blueberries into the batter, gently folding to prevent crushing and ensure even distribution.
- Carefully portion the combined mixture evenly across the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
- Remove from oven and allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to completely cool and set.
Notes
- Swap ripe bananas for applesauce to reduce sugar content and add moisture for a lighter texture.
- Sprinkle extra whole oats or chopped nuts on top before baking for a delightful crunchy layer and added nutrition.
- For gluten-free option, use certified gluten-free oats and replace brown sugar with coconut sugar or monk fruit sweetener.
- Customize flavor by substituting blueberries with raspberries, diced strawberries, or chocolate chips for variety and personal preference.
