Breakfast Oatmeal Cupcakes To Go

Notes: 

WW Points (new system): 2 points per cupcake

As mentioned in the post, I don’t mean to suggest that a person eat just one cupcake–and nothing else–as breakfast (although that would definitely be a step up from skipping the meal altogether). Feel free to pair one or two cupcakes with something like a piece of fruit and a little container of nut butter, for a balanced breakfast on the go.

Substitution Notes:

For the banana: Applesauce will work, but you might want to add a little extra sweetener (and decrease the water according to how much extra liquid sweetener you add).

For the rolled oats: I haven’t tried quick oats, nor have I tried steel-cut in this recipe. So I have no idea how either would work.

For the oil: I haven’t tried subbing more banana for the oil. I am sure you can do it, and it will be fine texture-wise. No idea about the taste, though.

Protein Powder? Perhaps you could add some protein powder to these (or replace some of the oats with protein powder). If anyone tries before me, I’d love to hear the results.

Ingredients: 

5 cups rolled oats (400g)
2 1/2 cups over-ripe mashed banana, measured after mashing (For all substitution notes on this recipe, see nutrition link below.) (600g)
1 tsp salt
5 NuNaturals stevia packets (or omit and use 5 tbsp liquid sweetener of choice–such as pure maple syrup or agave–instead)
optional: 2/3 cup mini chocolate chips
2 2/3 cups water (640g) (If using the liquid-sweetener option, scale water back by 1/3 cup.)
1/4 cup plus 1 tbsp oil (45g) (I really like coconut, but veg oil will also work. For lower-fat substitution notes, see nutrition link below.)
2 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
optional add-ins: cinnamon, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, ground flax or wheat germ, raisins or other dried fruit, etc.
