Oatmeal Cups from GreenLiteBites |
The end result was a dense muffin (a lot like baked oatmeal) with a healthy vibe. The bananas and berries provide a good balance of flavor and sweetness, while the oatmeal supplies plenty of fiber to keep you full. The first time I made these I eliminated the sugar. While I do not normally add sugar to my stove-top prepared oatmeal, I couldn't help but feel that I wanted these to be a bit sweeter. Others, however, loved them just fine without the sugar. So you could go either way.
Banana Berry Oatmeal Cups
(makes 15 muffins)
3 ripe bananas, mashed
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
2 eggs
1 Tablespoon baking powder
3 cups quick oats
2 cups frozen mixed berries
optional: 1/4 cup truvia or other sugar substitute
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Line standard muffin tin with FOIL* cups (or spray generously with cooking spray). Mix all ingredients except frozen berries together; let sit for 5 minutes. Fold frozen berries into batter. Fill each muffin cup with batter, filling nearly to the top. Bake for 20 minutes, or until muffins are set and just starting to brown. Cool on wire wrack. Store in airtight container for 2-3 days.
