Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, thoroughly mashed

1 cup pumpkin puree (can be canned or homemade)

2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

1 ½ cups milk (your choice of dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional for added crunch)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional for a sweet touch)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the thoroughly mashed bananas and pumpkin puree. Pour in the milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Whisk the mixture together until it is smooth and all the components are well integrated.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients gently until they are uniformly blended.

        Incorporate the Dry Mixture: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring just until combined. Be careful not to overmix. If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, gently fold them into the batter at this stage.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon, divide the oatmeal mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each one about 3/4 of the way full. The mixture won’t rise significantly while baking, so it’s perfectly fine to fill them close to the top.

            Bake: Place the filled muffin tin in the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the tops of the oatmeal cups are set and lightly golden. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffin tin from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes. Then, carefully transfer the oatmeal cups to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Serve these delicious baked oatmeal cups warm as a comforting breakfast, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. They are perfect for a quick breakfast or a wholesome snack on the go!
