Baked Banana-Nut Oatmeal Cups

Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats*
- 1 ½ cups low-fat milk
- 2 ripe bananas, mashed (about 3/4 cup)
- ⅓ cup packed brown sugar
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup toasted chopped pecans (or any other nut you like)
Equipment: 12-cup muffin tin
*If you have celiac disease or a gluten sensitivity you can use oats that are specifically labelled “gluten-free,” as oats are often cross-contaminated with wheat and barley.
Directions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
- Step 2: Combine oats, milk, bananas, brown sugar, eggs, baking powder, cinnamon, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Fold in pecans. Divide the mixture among the muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each). Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.
