Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups
I am always looking for a delicious breakfast for the kids (and myself) and while they are big fans of oatmeal … I am not always a big fan of getting up and making it in the morning 🙂 So I LOVE having these individual Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups on hand for those busy mornings! They are packed with nutritious ingredients like chia seeds and flax meal and they are dairy free thanks to Califia Farms! I use their Unsweetened Almondmilk in pretty much everything (smoothies, salad dressings, soups) and these oatmeal cups are no exception!

- 2 ripe bananas

Description
These Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups are SO delicious! Kid-friendly and made with simple, delicious ingredients!
Ingredients
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 ripe bananas
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut or almond butter
- 1/4 cup Califia Farms Unsweetened Almondmilk
- 2 teaspoons pure maple syrup
- 1/3 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dry Ingredients
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 tablespoons ground flax meal
- 1 tablespoon chia seeds
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup dairy-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350.
- In large mixing bowl add banana and mash with a fork.
- Add remaining Wet Ingredients and mix to combine.
- In a medium mixing bowl combine Dry Ingredients; stir to combine.
- Pour dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and stir.
- Take 12 muffin tins and spray with your choice of non-stick/oil to prevent sticking.
- Scoop approximately 3 tablespoons of the mixture into each muffin tin (it’s okay to fill to the top, they don’t rise).
- Place in oven on middle rack and bake for 18 minutes.
- Remove and let cool, about 10 minutes.
- Use a small spatula or butter knife to loosen outer edges before removing.
Notes
- Bananas: if using frozen bananas thaw before use in this recipe
- Creamy Peanut/Almond Butter: it’s best to use drippy or extra-creamy almond or peanut butter. It will be easier to mix together.
- Dairy-Free Chocolate Chips – feel free to use less or more of the chocolate chips! You can also swap them out for something else if you want (apples or berries would work great!)
- Does it rise: these did not rise at all so you can fill your muffin tins to the top
- Sticking to muffin tin: to avoid having these stick to the muffin tin make sure you spray with your choice of non-stick/oil. Also make sure you are using high quality muffin tins. You can also use these silicone muffin holders if you want!
- Toppings: feel free to top with extra almond or peanut butter!
- Let Cool: Make sure you let them cool before trying to get them out of the muffin tin!
- Storage: These don’t have any preservatives in them so make sure you store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5-6 days. Feel free to re-heat before serving!

These are so amazing to have each morning as I’m running out the door or when I’m hangry in the afternoon. I put some peanut butter on top and they are perfect!

Andrea says
I love making these for my family or to bring when we visit guests overnight. They are healthy and delicious! I don’t like bananas, but you can’t even taste them in this recipe. They keep well in the fridge and are perfect warmed up in the microwave. A healthy grab-and-go breakfast that even the kids like? That’s a win!

Left out the chocolate because we’re not fans in general, but especially for breakfast. Subbed with diced green apples….so good! Toddler approved! Also, super convenient for crazy mornings!

These are great! We also did a batch where we subbed the applesauce for an egg, and since we were short a banana, added some extra oil for moisture. Both versions were gobbled up!

These look so good! If I don’t have applesauce, can I use something else as a substitute?

Can I just bake this in an 8×8 pan?
Erin says
Hi Mary! I haven’t tried this personally, but I would imagine it would be just fine! I have another baked oatmeal recipe that you could use as a guide for cooking: https://thewoodenskillet.com/warm-cinnamon-oatmeal-bake-apples-blueberries-and-peaches/
Shelly says
Wow! These are incredible! Made them today for the girls I nanny for and they each ate two right out of the oven and said they’re their new favorite. One of the girls has celiacs so we’re always looking for awesome new GF recipes. I used a bunch of bags of instant oatmeal because that’s all we have on hand right now and turned out fine. Baking during this pandemic has been soothing. Thank you!
Erin says
Hi Shelly!! That makes me SO happy to hear! My girls love this recipe too and it has quickly become a favorite in our house! And I agree, baking has been so soothing during this unprecedented time! Thanks again for taking the time out of your day to leave your feedback! It means so much to me 🙂
