Make the Batter for Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Bites
In a medium bowl, mash two medium-ripe bananas with the back of a fork. It’s important the bananas are ripe but not overly mushy—look for a few brown spots on the peel but not completely brown or too firm. The bananas provide most of the sweetness, so the right ripeness matters.
Add one egg to the mashed bananas and stir until combined.
Stir in old-fashioned oats, ground cinnamon, baking powder, milk, and a pinch of salt. Mix until evenly combined, then fold in the diced apple pieces.
Note: You can use peeled or unpeeled apples; leaving the peel adds color and texture. Choose a firm, sweet variety like Fuji, Honeycrisp, Golden Delicious, or McIntosh to enhance natural sweetness since no sugar is added.
Cooking Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Bites
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with paper liners or lightly spray each cup with non-stick baking spray. Because the batter is chunky, paper liners are recommended for easier removal.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared cups, filling each about two-thirds full. Bake on the middle rack for 15–16 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Let the pan rest for a few minutes before removing the bites.
They will pull away slightly from the liners as they cool—this is normal. Transfer the bites to a wire rack to cool completely.
Ready to Enjoy?
Once cooled to room temperature, these bites are ready to eat. They’re moist, tender, and dotted with soft apple pieces. They taste best at room temperature, though you can serve them slightly warm if you prefer.
Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for 3–4 days—no refrigeration required. For longer storage, wrap tightly and freeze for 2–3 months.
These simple breakfast bites are filling and flavorful. Because they’re low in calories, two bites make a satisfying portion for many people. I hope you enjoy them!
