Banana-Berry Baked Oatmeal Bites

Author - Serena Wolf
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Yields: 20 bites

Ingredients

  • 1 ripe banana
  • 1 cup almond milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil in liquid form
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice
  • 2 cups gluten-free rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries or berries of your choice
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar optional

Instructions

  • Pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees. Spray a mini muffin tin with cooking spray.
  • Place the banana in a large bowl and mash well with a fork. Add the almond milk, egg, maple syrup, vanilla extract, coconut oil, lemon zest and juice, and whisk until smooth and well combined. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, cinnamon, salt and baking powder. Add the dry ingredient to the wet ingredients and whisk to combine. Stir in the blueberries.
  • Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the prepared mini muffin tin. Filling the wells almost to the top. You should have enough oatmeal for 20 bites.
  • Bake for 18-20 minutes until the oatmeal has set and the tops of the bites are lightly browned. (At this point you can simply let your bites cool, but I like to sprinkle the bites with a little brown sugar and then pop them under the broiler for a couple minutes until they get nicely browned and crispy on top.)
  • Let the bites cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes. Serve warm OR carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and then refrigerate/freeze in an airtight container until you’re ready to eat.
