Instructions

Heat oven to 180°C (350°F) and prepare a muffin mold with muffin liners.
Start by mashing the ripe bananas in a large mixing bowl. Add to the mixture peanut butter, maple syrup, and optionally vanilla extract, ground cinnamon plus a pinch salt. Stir well until the mixture gets smooth.
Add rolled oats to the wet dough, then mix well until you get a doughy texture.
Transfer the banana oatmeal dough to the prepared muffin liners and top with chocolate chips, if desired.
Bake in hot oven for 20 to 25 minutes and let cool at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Notes for baked oatmeal cups with protein powder.

As protein powder is different from oats, the dough may require some adaptations.

Vegan protein powders and casein are more absorbent: you may need a pour of milk more, in case the dough is too thick.
Whey protein powder mixes very well and dissolves easily: you may need to fix the dough with more oats.
