Ingredients
  

2 ripe bananas, mashed

1 cup pumpkin puree (canned or fresh)

2 cups rolled oats

1/2 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/4 cup peanut butter or almond butter

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips or raisins (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners for easy removal.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed bananas and pumpkin puree. Stir in the milk, maple syrup (or honey), peanut butter (or almond butter), and vanilla extract until well blended.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry mixture into the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re adding nuts or chocolate chips, fold them in at this point.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the prepared 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 and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or at room temperature!
