Equipment

Ingredients

3 cups rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon cinnamon
¼ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 ½ cups almond milk or other milk
1 cup mashed ripe bananas
¼ cup maple syrup
2 tablespoons ground flaxseed
¼ cup chocolate chips optional

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray or line it with parchment paper muffin cups.
Place all the ingredients, except for the chocolate, together in a large bowl and mix to combine until well blended. Allow to rest for 5 minutes.
Fold in the chocolate chips. Then transfer batter into prepared muffin cups, filling all the way to the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top is set. If you notice the tops brown too quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil.
Cool oatmeal cups on wire rack for 5 minutes, then enjoy.
