Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
3/4 banana
170g
1/2 cup almond milk
120g
1/4 cup applesauce
60g
2 tbsp coconut oil
27g
1 tsp vanilla extract
4.20g
1 cup oats
80g
1 scoop whey protein powder
30g
1 tsp baking powder
5g
1 tsp baking soda
5g
2/3 banana
100g

Instructions:

1. Preheat and Prepare:
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray a muffin tin with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking.
2. Mash the Banana:
- In a large bowl, mash 3/4 banana (170g) until smooth.
3. Combine Wet Ingredients:
- Add the almond milk, applesauce, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract to the mashed banana. Stir until fully combined.
4. Mix Dry Ingredients:
- In the same bowl, add the oats, whey protein powder, baking powder, and baking soda. Mix well until all the dry ingredients are incorporated with the wet mixture.
5. Prepare the Remaining Banana:
- Slice or dice the remaining 2/3 banana (100g) and gently fold into the oatmeal mixture.
6. Fill Muffin Tin:
- Evenly divide the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, making sure each cup is filled to the top and any banana pieces are evenly distributed.
7. Bake:
- Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the oatmeal cups are firm and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
8. Cool and Serve:
- Allow the baked oatmeal cups to cool in the muffin tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
9. Enjoy:
- Serve warm or at room temperature. These oatmeal cups make a great on-the-go breakfast or snack. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Tips:

- Make sure to mash the banana thoroughly to ensure even distribution throughout the batter.

- For added texture, consider adding some shredded coconut or chopped nuts to the batter.

- If you prefer a sweeter taste, you can add a tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture.

- Use a scoop of protein powder with a flavor that complements the banana and coconut, such as vanilla or coconut.

- For a dairy-free option, use a plant-based protein powder instead of whey protein powder.

- To prevent sticking, ensure that your muffin tin is well-greased with cooking spray or alternatively use silicone baking cups.

- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze them for longer storage.
