    Lemon Baked Oatmeal Cups

    Moist and delicious Lemon Baked Oatmeal Cups with no added sugar make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

    So is it totally bizarre that I never really make baked oatmeal in a pan but am currently head over heels obsessed with these little cuppies?!

    Moist and delicious Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal Cups with no added sugar make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

    They're essentially baked oatmeal in perfect, portioned, portable form. It's not like it's that hard to use a spatula and cut a square from a pan, but there's something truly magical about the good old muffin tin.

    When my blogging boos and I decided to make citrus the theme for January's round-up, I immediately turned to lemon. I messed around with the proportions in the cooler older cousin version of this recipe (Banana Zucchini Baked Oatmeal Cups) since winter isn't zucchini's best friend, thus opening up a whole new world of portable oaty greatness.

    Moist and delicious Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal Cups with no added sugar make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

    By the way, I'm all googly eyes for these silicone baking cups. They make clean-up a total breeze! Moist and delicious Lemon Coconut Baked Oatmeal Cups with no added sugar make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.

    Hellooooo most perfect breakfast how are youuuuUUuuUUUU!

    Description

    Moist and delicious Lemon Baked Oatmeal Cups make the perfect healthy breakfast on the go! Vegan and gluten-free.


    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 2 overripe medium bananas
    • ¾ cup milk (I used unsweetened almond milk)
    • ¼ cup cashew or almond butter
    • Zest and juice 1 large lemon
    • 1 ½ tsp vanilla extract
    • 2 cups old-fashioned oats
    • ¼ cup chia seeds
    • ¼ cup coconut sugar (or sweetener of choice)
    • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
    • ½ tsp fine salt

    Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 375F. Spray muffin tin with cooking spray
    2. Place bananas in a large mixing bowl. Mash with a fork. Add milk, nut butter, lemon juice and zest, and vanilla. Whisk until well-combined.
    3. Add oats, chia seeds, sugar, baking powder and salt, stirring to combine. Spoon batter evenly into muffin tin.
    4. Bake for 20-25 minutes (I did 23 minutes), or until set and lightly browned. Cool for 20 minutes on a cooling rack before carefully removing from muffin tin. Sore in an air-tight container in the refrigerator.

      In your Lemon Coconut baked oatmeal cups, I would like to use chicken eggs instead of the 1/4 cup chia seeds. How many chicken eggs do I use. I do use large eggs. Let me know.

        I'd suggest one egg. Enjoy!

        I hate bananas and my husband is allergic. It can be frustrating to find healthy recipes when everyone subs in bananas. I think mango might be a good one to substitute here. I've also heard that applesauce can be subbed for banana in recipes. It might be too moist though so maybe add some avocado in with the applesauce too? I'm not really sure but it might be worth a try. I'm thinking I will try one of those two options, myself. Anybody have any other suggestions?

      Thanks for this recipe! Made these the other night and have been enjoying the tasty and easy breakfasts. It turns out that I picked up quick cooking oats last time, so mine was a mix of old-fashioned and quick cooking. I think it made for a more muffin-like texture than my baked oatmeal usually is:)

      Yum I love this combo so much! I just started using my silicone baking cups as well and I LOVE them. I also have a silicon muffin pan too... You can never have too many baking tools, right... My husband begs to differ. Ha! Love the ingredient list here and I think I have everything on hand! I'll have to give these a try 🙂
