Print Recipe

These banana oat egg cups are a quick, wholesome breakfast option that can be made ahead and enjoyed warm or cold, featuring natural sweetness from bananas and a delicate maple glaze.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium ripe bananas, mashed (about 1 cup)
  • 6 large eggs, room temperature
  • 1 cup rolled oats (90g), old-fashioned
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 cup milk of choice (60ml), dairy or plant-based
  • 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup (for glaze)
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil or melted butter (optional, for glaze)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Mash the bananas in a large bowl using a fork or potato masher until smooth but still a bit chunky.
  3. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl until fully combined and slightly frothy, about 1 minute.
  4. Add the whisked eggs, vanilla extract, and milk to the mashed banana. Stir gently until combined.
  5. In another bowl, mix rolled oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  6. Slowly fold the oat mixture into the banana-egg mixture until just combined. Add a tablespoon of milk if batter is too thick.
  7. Use a spoon or small ladle to fill each muffin cup about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20-22 minutes, checking doneness with a toothpick which should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  9. Let the egg cups cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  10. Whisk together maple syrup and melted coconut oil or butter (optional) for the glaze. Drizzle over cooled egg cups before serving or store separately.

Notes

Do not overmix the batter to avoid gummy texture. Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and moisture. Check baking time starting at 18 minutes to avoid overbaking. For crunch, sprinkle chopped nuts or seeds on top before baking. Store in airtight container in fridge up to 4 days or freeze up to 2 months. Reheat in microwave for 20-30 seconds or enjoy cold. Maple glaze adds subtle sweetness and shine.
