How To Make 6 Baked Oatmeal Cups Flavors

STEP 1: Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin pan with non-stick cooking spray or add cupcake liners.

STEP 2: In a large bowl, combine all dry ingredients thoroughly: 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp cinnamon, ½ tsp nutmeg, and ½ tsp salt.

STEP 3: On a plate mash the two ripe bananas with a fork until very mushy.

STEP 4: In a medium bowl, beat the 4 eggs with a fork. Add in the mashed banana, 1 cup milk, ¼ cup honey and 1 tsp vanilla extract. Mix everything together.

STEP 5: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients bowl, and combine thoroughly. Let this mixture sit for 15-20 minutes to allow the oats to absorb as much liquid as possible.

STEP 6: Add ½ cup of the oat base to a small bowl. Stir in the flavor additions using the ingredients list below:

• Double Chocolate: 1 Tbsp cocoa powder, 1 Tbsp chocolate chips
• Apple Cinnamon: ¼ cup apple, 1 tsp cinnamon
• Coconut Blueberry: ¼ cup blueberries, 1 Tbsp shredded coconut
• Cranberry Orange: ¼ cup dried cranberries, 1 Tbsp orange zest
• Peanut Butter & Jam: 2 Tbsp peanut butter, 2 tsp strawberry jam

STEP 7: Now scoop ¼ cup of batter into one muffin cup and pour the rest in another. Repeat step 6 with the other flavors until all muffin cups are full.

STEP 8: Bake for 25-30 minutes at 350℉ or until the edges are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean when poked in the center. Let cool for 10 minutes, then transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool completely.

How To Store Leftovers

These muffins can be pulled out of the fridge and eaten cold, or popped in the microwave for 10-20 seconds to warm them up. If you’re pulling them out of the freezer, I would defrost for 30 seconds in the microwave while wrapped in a paper towel.
