Prep & Cook Time
Prep: 5 min
Cook: 12–14 min
Total: 20 min
Ingredients
For the batter
• 1 large ripe banana
• 1 cup rolled oats
• 2 eggs
• ¼ cup Greek yogurt
• 1 tbsp honey
• ½ tsp baking powder
• ½ tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
Optional
• ¼ cup mini chocolate chips or blueberries
Instructions
- Blend the base
Add the banana, oats, eggs, Greek yogurt, honey, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a blender. Blend on high until the mixture becomes smooth, creamy, and slightly thick. The batter should pour easily but still have some body. Let it rest 1 minute so the oats can hydrate slightly. - Prepare the pan
Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease a mini muffin pan with oil spray or butter. This prevents sticking and helps the edges turn lightly golden. If you prefer, you can use silicone mini cups for easier removal. - Portion the batter
Pour the batter into each mini muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
If using add-ins, sprinkle a few chocolate chips or one to two blueberries in the center of each cup. Press gently so they sink slightly into the batter. - Bake to perfection
Place the pan on the middle rack and bake for 12 to 14 minutes.
The bites are ready when the tops feel set to the touch, bounce back slightly, and show a light golden hue. A toothpick should come out clean or with just a few moist crumbs. - Cool before removing
Let the bites rest in the pan for 5 minutes. This allows the structure to firm up and prevents breaking when unmolding. Use a small offset spatula or spoon to lift them out gently. - Serve or store
Enjoy warm right away, pack them for breakfast meal prep, or store in an airtight container. Their texture stays soft for days and reheats perfectly.

Tips
• The riper the banana, the sweeter and softer the bites will be.
• Resting the blended batter 1 minute helps the oats absorb moisture and improves the texture.
• Freeze cooled bites in a zip bag. Reheat 10–12 seconds in the microwave for a fresh-from-the-oven feel.
• For extra protein, stir in 1 spoon of Greek yogurt or nut butter before blending. You can also explore other high-protein desserts for snack-friendly options that support your goals.
