Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup canned pumpkin puree (not pumpkin pie filling)

2 cups rolled oats

1 ½ cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners or non-stick spray to prevent sticking.

    Mix the Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas, pumpkin puree, almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine the Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to ensure even distribution of the spices and leavening agent.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredient mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. If you'd like to include nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this stage.

          Portion the Mixture: Use a measuring cup or an ice cream scoop to portion the oatmeal mixture into the greased muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Store: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Serve: Enjoy warm or at room temperature. These oatmeal cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or frozen for longer storage.
