Print Recipe Pin Recipe

Ingredients
  

  • 2 1/4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 2 3/4 cup milk or milk alternative
  • 1 ripe banana
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1/4 tsp salt

Toppings

  • Blueberry + Hemp Seeds
  • Raspberry + Chia Seeds
  • Dried cherries + Pistachios
  • Chocolate chips + Almond butter drizzle
  • Anything you dream up!

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease muffin tins – well or they’ll stick.
  • Mash ripe banana in a large mixing bowl. Add eggs and whisk until frothy. Add cinnamon, salt, and vanilla. Whisk.
  • Add oats and milk. Stir until well combined. Allow to sit for 5-10 minutes until the oats begin to absorb some of the milk.
  • Fill each muffin tin with 1/3 cup oat mixture making sure to also get some liquid too. The tins will be very full.
  • Top each one with desired toppings.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until set and starting to brown. This takes the full 30 minutes for me.
  • Allow to cool before removing from the pan. Store in the fridge all week.

Notes

Other Thoughts:
  • You may have a small amount of extra oat mixture depending on the size of your muffin tins. Don't overflow them to use it all! You'll regret it.
  • Get creative and add different toppings. Let me know your favorite!
  • Use any milk you want - use cow's milk or pea protein milk for more protein.
How-to-Use:
Athletes: One muffin cup is a great preworkout snack - with 15 gm of carbohydrates (only 2 gm fiber), it's great fuel to help you sustain that hour workout. For a recovery breakfast, throw 2 muffins in a bowl - top with 1 cup greek yogurt - drizzle with almond butter & honey.
Healthy Eating: For the fastest breakfast ever, grab one oatmeal cup and a 5 oz container of greek yogurt and run out the door! Bonus points if you top with an extra handful of walnuts
Kids: Take one guess who in our family added the chocolate chips?! The kiddos of course. Involve them in choosing their favorite toppings and they will be much more likely to try them. Also great for older kids to grab out of the refrigerator and eat on the way to school.
