- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) maple syrup or honey
- 1/2 cup (115 grams) mashed banana or applesauce
Flavor Enhancers and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 cup (60 milliliters) nut butter or oil (optional)
- 1/3 cup (55 grams) chocolate chips or raisins (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the oven environment by heating to 375F (190C) and positioning cupcake liners within a muffin tin.
- Gather dry components including rolled oats, salt, cinnamon, and baking powder into a spacious mixing vessel.
- Separately integrate mashed banana or applesauce with milk, natural sweetener, optional fat source, and vanilla essence through vigorous whisking.
- Merge liquid and powdery mixtures, stirring until ingredients are harmoniously blended without overmixing.
- Optionally enhance the base mixture by gently incorporating chocolate morsels or dried fruit fragments.
- Distribute the prepared batter uniformly across cupcake receptacles, ensuring each cavity receives approximately three-quarters full volume.
- Position the muffin tin into the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, monitoring for golden edges and clean toothpick test results.
- Extract from oven and permit brief five-minute resting period within the tin to stabilize structural integrity.
- Transition cupcakes onto a cooling platform, allowing complete temperature reduction before serving or storing.
Notes
- Customize the sweetness by adjusting maple syrup or honey to suit personal taste preferences.
- Replace nut butter with mashed avocado for a unique, creamy texture and added healthy fats.
- Experiment with different mix-ins like chia seeds, chopped nuts, or dried fruits to boost nutritional value.
- Make these cupcakes gluten-free by using certified gluten-free oats and checking all ingredient labels carefully.
