Individual Healthy "Banana Bread" Baked Oatmeal Muffin Cups

Weight Watchers Friendly Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal Muffin Cups

I'm a big oatmeal fan. I often begin the day with a bowl of it.

I also love oatmeal-filled baked goods like oatmeal muffins & breads and oatmeal cookies & cookie bars.

My mom even made me my favorite oatmeal cake for my birthday this year.

A couple of years ago I discovered the joy of baked oatmeal, and have since then, gathered a wonderful collection of baked oatmeal recipes.

If you're new to baked oatmeal, you're in for a treat. It's a great make-ahead breakfast that can be quickly reheated each morning for a filling and healthy start to your day.

Although it takes a little effort, the preparation is very simple – you just stir everything together, then pour it into a casserole dish (affiliate link) or muffin cups, and bake. It bakes up soft and moist, more like a muffin than porridge.

The only problem with baked oatmeal is that it makes a rather big batch that sometimes goes to waste since I'm the only one who really loves it.

I've seen several recipes lately for oatmeal baked in muffin cups, making perfect single-serving portions, and decided to give it a go.

With 2 very very ripe bananas on the counter, I thought a "banana bread" baked oatmeal would be fun to try.

Skinny on Baked Oatmeal Muffin Cups

I used the baked oatmeal recipe from my Simply In Season (affiliate link) Cookbook as my starting point, swapping out the applesauce for mashed bananas and adding a bit of baking spice.

I loved the way these little personal-size banana bread baked oatmeal muffins turned out and have enjoyed them for breakfast several times this week.

The rest I put in a Freezer-safe bag that I tucked into the freezer.

Now, when the mood for baked oatmeal strikes, I can pull one out and heat it in the microwave (affiliate link) for a couple of minutes!

Having healthy food ready and waiting in the fridge and freezer makes sticking with the Weight Watchers Plan so much easier and is one of the keys for helping me stay at goal.

**To make work for WW Simply Filling you can skip the sugar or substitute your preferred artificial sweetener.

These were good as is. I'm also going to experiment with other additions including mini chocolate chips, raisins, dried cranberries, peanut butter, chopped nuts and ground flax. (But not all at once, of course.)
