Supercharged Banana-Nut Oatmeal Cups: A Gut Health Promoting Recipe

Here at JUVIA, we are passionate about gut health, enjoying nutritious food and above all else, not missing out. 

Today’s recipe is an easy breakfast option that is packed with gut-healthy ingredients like oats, bananas and nuts that not only provide great flavour but also provide essential vitamins and minerals to keep you energized for the day.

This easy-to-follow recipe will give you a hearty snack that is great for when you’re on the move, in a hurry, or just fancy a little treat,  but don’t want to break any of your good habits. 

Ingredients that you will need: 

• 3 cups rolled oats (as they are, or blended into oat flour)
• 2 ripe bananas, mashed
• ½ cup chopped nuts (of your choice)
• 1 or 1.5 tablespoons of JUVIA (depending on what phase you’re on)
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• Pinch of salt
• 1 teaspoon of baking powder 

Optional ingredients: 

• ⅓ cup of brown or coconut sugar (for those that need a little more sweetness)
• 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract 
• 1 ½ cups of milk (dairy or non-dairy, preferably unsweetened) 
• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten 

Instructions to follow: 

• Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper, or coat a muffin tin with cooking spray. 
• In a medium-sized bowl, mix together the oats, mashed banana, nuts, cinnamon, salt, baking powder, etc, and optional ingredients (milk,  sugar, and vanilla extract).
• Scoop mixture into individual muffin cups on the baking sheet and press down with a spoon to form an even layer, or divide the mixture into the muffin tin.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and crispy on the edges. A useful tip to determine if they are ready is to poke the mixture with a toothpick. If it comes out clean, presto!   
• Once it is ready, let it cool for 10 minutes, then take a shot of JUVIA (mixed in a little water), or spread some over the individual muffins for added sweetness.
