Mornings around here can be a bit of a rush, especially if a certain one of my little ones isn't quite ready for the day to begin. On those mornings having quick, healthy breakfast options like baked oatmeal are a must. These Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal Cups are the current favorite around here. All the delicious flavor of warm banana bread baked into a portable, satisfying breakfast that will keep the kiddos going until lunch time. What could be better?

Besides tasting delicious, these baked oatmeal cups are simple and come together quickly with just 10 wholesome ingredients.

And it makes good use of those spotty bananas we all seem to have around the kitchen by adding flavor, sweetness, and moisture to the baked oats.

Don't worry if your mashed bananas aren't completely smooth and have little lumps. Those lumps will bake into little pockets of gooey deliciousness.

Oats and bananas may be the main players in this recipe, but chia seeds are holding everything together literally, while also adding an extra boost of nutrition. The seeds when mixed with liquid, in this case the almond milk and mashed bananas, develop a gel around the outside that works really well in place of eggs for recipes like this.

Here are the cups before baking....

Store leftovers in the fridge and simply reheat throughout the week as needed. If you don't plan to eat all the cups within the week, you can store in a freezer safe container or bag in the freezer for up to a month.
