Chocolate Banana Oatmeal Cups [Recipe]

When I saw these Banana Oatmeal Cups on Real Mom Nutrition I knew I had to give them a try.  The recipe was originally adapted from Green Lite Bites.

It’s important for you to know these don’t have the texture of muffins.  Because they are not cake-like, Little D (my muffin lover) was thrown off a bit.  But they are dense and tasty and make the perfect little snack.  I don’t like baked goods (except cookies) that are too sweet.  And the best part is the recipe calls for ingredients most people already have in their pantry and fridge.  I always have bananas that are on the verge of going bad and oatmeal is a staple here.

Anyone else make something like this?  Have a great weekend!

    I made these and then looked up nutrition information for all items, then divided by 12 to get the breakdown of each cup.

    Calories 140, Total Fat 3 g (1.1 g Sat fat), Carbohydrates 26.6 (Fiber 3.1 g, Sugar 9.8 g), Protein 3.7 g, Sodium 133.3 mg, Cholesterol 0.4 mg, Potassium 228.4 mg.

    If you replace the 1/3 cup chocolate chips with 1/4 cup chopped walnuts, the breakdown changes to the following:

    Calories 134, Total Fat 3.3 g (0.5 g Sat fat), Carbohydrates 24 (Fiber 2.9 g, Sugar 7.3 g), Protein 3.9 g, Sodium 132.8 mg, Cholesterol 0.4 mg, Potassium 222.3 mg.

    Is that worth doing to only give up a few carbs? If you look at net carbs (carbs – fiber), there is only a 2.5 g difference.

    I just made these last night. Perfect for on the go breakfast. Mornings can be hectic and this was perfect, so dense and being oatmeal means I’ll be full longer.
    And It’s so simple and healthy!

    My son loved these! I froze the extras. They are a great breakfast to pack for day care.
