Notes
Use any fruit or vegetable puree of your choice – apple, banana, pear, sweet potato, or pumpkin. You can also mix and match! If using bananas, mash them in the bowl before adding the rest of the liquid ingredients.
If adding nut/seed butter, mix it in with the liquid ingredients.
If you add a lot of mix-ins, you might end up with more than 12 baked oatmeal cups.
