Almond Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups
Description
Almond Butter Banana Baked Oatmeal Cups use old-fashioned rolled oats mixed with baking powder, cinnamon, and salt as the dry base. The wet ingredients include eggs, milk, mashed banana, maple syrup, melted almond butter, and vanilla extract. Combining these yields a thick batter that is portioned into muffin tins and baked until firm and golden.
The banana adds natural sweetness and moisture, while almond butter contributes a creamy texture and subtle nutty flavor. Cinnamon and vanilla enhance the flavor profile with warm, aromatic notes. The cups hold their shape well, making them convenient for on-the-go eating or portion control.
They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, and toppings like sliced almonds or mini chocolate chips can be added before baking for extra texture or sweetness. Serving them with a drizzle of almond butter or jam adds additional flavor.
