Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen)

Optional: 1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal of the oatmeal cups.

    Mix dry ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.

      Prepare wet ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the mashed bananas, applesauce, honey (or maple syrup), eggs, vanilla extract, and milk until well combined.

        Combine mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir gently until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep a nice texture.

          Add berries and nuts: Carefully fold in the mixed berries and chopped nuts (if using) into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.

            Fill the muffin tin: Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 of the way full.

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

                Cool and serve: Allow the baked oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
