Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time25 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 12 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 Tbsp flaxseed (ground)
  • 3 Tbsp water
  • 2 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 banana, large, ripe mashed
  • 2 Tbsp coconut oil melted
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 Tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
  • Make a flax egg: combine the ground flaxseed and water in a small bowl and let sit until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  • In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, baking powder, sea salt, and cinnamon.
  • In a medium bowl, mash the ripe banana, then stir in the flax mixture, melted coconut oil, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla until smooth.
  • Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined, then fold in the mini chocolate chips.
  • Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups and smooth the tops.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, until the tops are golden and set in the center.
  • Let the baked oatmeal cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then remove and serve warm.

Equipment

  • muffin pan
  • Mixing bowls
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Fork or Potato Masher
  • spatula or spoon

Notes

  • Use a very ripe banana for the best sweetness and texture.
  • Old fashioned oats provide the best structure; do not use instant oats.
  • Mini chocolate chips distribute more evenly than regular chips.
