Banana Bread Baked Oatmeal Cups

Love oatmeal but not into standing and stirring over the stove in the warmer months… and not really into overnight oats, either (or just want another easy, make-ahead option?)…

Enter baked oatmeal cups! These ridiculously budget-friendly, delicious make-ahead friendly breakfast are perfect on the go, for kids and adults alike. Plus- the banana bread variation is a great way to use up that banana you (whoops!) let go brown.
