Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal Cups (Chunky Monkey)
These Baked Banana Bread Oatmeal Cups are a great meal prep breakfast option! They are vegan, gluten free, and can be made in double or triple batches!
Ingredients
- 3 cups old fashioned gluten free certified oats such as Bob's Red Mill
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 1/2 cups almond milk
- ½ cup mashed very ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 flax egg or vegan egg substitute like Bob’s Red Mill
- 1/4 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C. Grease 12 muffin cups with coconut oil or line with paper muffin liners.
- Combine the oats, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl, Using a wooden spoon, mix all the ingredients together.
- Add in the bananas, maple syrup, vanilla extract and the flax egg. Stir together to combine, pouring in the almond milk as you stir. Fold in the chocolate chips and the walnuts. I like to leave some whole walnuts and chips to push into the top of the cups.
- Using a 1/4 cup measuring cup, scoop the mixture into each muffin cups until all 12 are equally filled. Top each oatmeal cup with a slice of banana or a dried banana (to prevent browning).
- Baked for 30 minutes. They should slightly spring back to the touch.
- Allow to cool for 5 minutes then, running a knife around the edges or each cup, remove and place each on a cooling rack to cool completely.
Enjoy!
