Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup canned pumpkin puree

2 ripe bananas, mashed

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/3 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1/2 cup chocolate chips or dried fruit (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the canned pumpkin puree and the mashed bananas until well mixed.

      Add the almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract to the bowl, stirring until fully incorporated.

        In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Mix well.

          Gradually fold the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. If using, stir in the chopped nuts and chocolate chips or dried fruit.

            Evenly distribute the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Remove from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Once cooled, enjoy them warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. You can also freeze them for longer storage!
