Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 cup chopped walnuts

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

Optional toppings: sliced bananas, extra walnuts, or a drizzle of honey

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or lightly coat with oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring gently until everything is just combined. Fold in the chopped walnuts.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. If desired, add extra slices of banana or walnut pieces on top for garnish.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

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

                Serve: Enjoy these hearty Baked Banana Oat Cups warm, or store them in an airtight container for up to a week. They make a fantastic grab-and-go breakfast or snack!
