Vegan Baked Banana Oatmeal Cups
Description
These vegan baked oatmeal cups use ripe mashed bananas to provide natural sweetness and moisture, combined with gluten-free rolled oats and ground chia seeds mixed with water to create a gel that replaces eggs. The batter is seasoned with cinnamon, baking soda, and a pinch of salt to develop slight lift and flavor. Divided into a muffin tin lined with baking cups, the mixture bakes at 350°F until set and lightly golden. The result is a tender yet firm texture, perfect for easy grab-and-go meals.
The use of chia seeds as a binder makes these suitable for vegan diets, while the natural banana sweetness limits the need for added sugars. The baked oatmeal cups can be served warm or cooled and stored in the refrigerator for convenience.
Preparation requires minimal equipment and can be done quickly, with baking time of about 20 minutes. The recipe recommends eating the cups chilled straight from the fridge as an alternative serving suggestion.
Ingredients
- 2 banana mashed, very ripe
- 1 cup gluten-free rolled oats
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds ground
- 3 tablespoons water
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350ºF and line a standard muffin tin with 6 baking cups. Create a "chia egg" by stirring together the ground chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of water. Allow the mixture to sit for 5 minutes, until slightly thickened and gel-like, the add in the rest of the ingredients and stir well to combine. Divide the batter among the 6 cups then bake until firm and lightly golden, about 20 minutes.
- Serve warm, or allow the oatmeal cups to cool and then store in an airtight container in your fridge for up to one week. We eat them cold straight from the fridge!
