Breakfast Banana Oatmeal Cupcakes with Peanut Butter "Frosting"

Course: Breakfast

Cuisine: American

Servings: 6 Breakfast Cupcakes

Prep time: 5 min

Cook time: 25 min

Total time: 30 min

Ingredients

"Cupcake" Ingredients

2 bananas
3 tbsp coconut oil (melted)
1 tsp maple syrup
1 1/2 cups gluten free oats
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tbsp almond milk
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

PEANUT BUTTER "FROSTING"

1 cup peanut butter ** see notes
2 tbsp maple syrup
3/4 cup almond milk

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
Blend all cupcake ingredients except for the oats in your blender or food processor until smooth
* NOTE: some chunks of banana are ok! And yummy!
In a medium bowl, add the batter and the oats and stir to combine
Line a cupcake pan with cupcake liners. Spoon the batter into your muffin cup lined muffin tin, to the top
Bake for 20- 25 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the middle of one of the "cupcakes" comes out clean
While those are baking:
Blend the peanut butter frosting ingredients together (I use my bullet) and then place in the fridge to thicken up a bit
*NOTE: if your "frosting" is too thin, you can add melted coconut oil (about 1-2 tbsp), re-blend and then re-chill
When the cupcakes are done, remove and let them cool a bit before frosting unless you like melty frosting, then go for it!
