Ingredients:

240g

12g
3 tbsp water
44g
1 cup oats
80g

Instructions:

2. Line a muffin tin with paper liners or lightly grease with non-stick spray.
3. In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp chia seeds with 3 tbsp water. Let it sit for about 10 minutes until it forms a gel-like consistency.
4. In a large mixing bowl, mash the 2 ripe bananas using a fork or potato masher until smooth.
5. Add the chia seed mixture to the mashed bananas.
6. Stir in 1 cup oats, 1/4 cup water, 1/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp cinnamon, and 1/2 tsp baking soda.
7. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
8. Gently fold in the 1 cup of blueberries, being careful not to crush them.
9. Evenly distribute the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.
10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of an oatmeal cup comes out clean.
11. Remove from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for about 5 minutes.
12. Transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
13. Serve warm or at room temperature. These Banana Blueberry Oatmeal Cups make a delicious and healthy breakfast or snack.

Tips:

- Ensure the bananas are adequately ripe for easier mashing and to impart natural sweetness to the oatmeal cups.

- You can use fresh or frozen blueberries, but if using frozen, make sure to thaw and drain them to avoid excess moisture.

- Feel free to add other mix-ins like chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruits to diversify the flavor and texture.

- Use silicone muffin liners or generously spray your muffin tin with a non-stick cooking spray to prevent sticking.

- Store the baked oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for a quick breakfast.
