Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

½ teaspoon salt

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 large ripe banana, mashed

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 tablespoons maple syrup (optional, adjust for sweetness)

1 cup mixed berries (fresh or frozen, like blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries)

¼ cup chopped nuts (optional, like walnuts or pecans)

2 tablespoons chia seeds or flaxseeds (optional for added nutrition)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a standard muffin tin or line it with muffin liners for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well until evenly mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, mashed banana, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix until smooth and combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Gently fold in the mixed berries, nuts, and chia or flaxseeds if using.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Scoop the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about ¾ full. Use a spoon to gently press down the mixture to pack it slightly.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool: Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or freeze for longer storage.
