Ingredients
- Rolled oats1 cup
- Ripe banana1, mashed
- Milk1/2 cup
- Maple syrup2 tbsp
- Baking powder1 tsp
- Mixed berries1/3 cup
Method
Blend the base
Blitz the oats, mashed banana, milk, maple syrup and baking powder into a smooth, pourable batter. A short blend breaks down the oats so the cups bake soft and cake-like instead of staying gritty and coarse.
Fill the cups
Spoon the batter into greased silicone muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to leave room to rise. Press a few berries into the top of each so they stay put and do not sink to the bottom.
Rest the batter
Let the filled cups sit for 5 minutes so the oats soak up the liquid and the baking powder starts to bubble. This softens the oats and gives a lighter, more risen cup once it bakes.
Air-fry until set
Cook at 175°C for 16 min until the tops spring back to a light touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Let them cool a couple of minutes before lifting out, as warm cups are soft and hold their shape better once firm.
