Ingredients

2 medium RIPE bananas mashed (about 1 cup)
1 cup milk
½ cup pure maple syrup
2 eggs
½ cup natural peanut butter this should be runny peanut butter (not too close to the end of the jar)
2 cups oats quick or minute oats work best!
½ cup chocolate protein powder Please note certain brands of protein powder may alter the texture slightly! I recommend using Nuzest for best results!
¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
2 teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
⅓ cup chocolate chips

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350F and line a 12 cavity muffin tin.
In a large mixing bowl combine mashed banana, milk, maple syrup, eggs and peanut butter and whisk until smooth.
Add in oats, chocolate protein powder, cocoa powder, baking powder, and salt and stir until fully combined. Add chocolate chips and mix once more.
Divide your batter evenly among the cavities of your muffin tin (recipe should make about 12 baked oatmeal cups). I typically pour about ¼ cup of batter into each cavity.
Bake for about 24-27 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center of one of the oat cups comes out clean.

Notes

Protein powder can be replaced with 3 tablespoon of additional cocoa powder and ¼ cup of additional oats. You may also wish to add 1 tablespoon of additional maple syrup as some protein powders do add additional sweetness as well.

Banana can be replaced with ½ cup of unsweetened applesauce.

For additional protein, you can replace ¼ cup of oats with ¼ cup of ground flaxseed.
