Oatmeal Cups

I like oatmeal just fine.  I just don't like to go to all the trouble to make it just for me.  No one else eats it.  So when a friend passed on this recipe I jumped right on it.  They really are very good! And they don't have any flour or sugar!

3 mashed bananas (the riper, the better)
1 cup of milk (whatever kind, almond, skim, soy coconut)
2 eggs or 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
3 cups old fashioned oats (I used quick cooking)
1 tsp vanilla
3 tbsp mini chocolate chips (I used more)

Options:  a few generous squirts of honey can be added, also any berry.  I tried blueberries while we were on our fast and they were good.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Mix all of the above ingredients, except the chocolate chips.  Let sit while you prep your muffin tin.  Spray tin or liners.  Stir in chocolate chips.  Divide mixture into cups, fill almost to full, as they don't rise too much.  Bake 20 min or until lightly browned and firm.  Let cool completely before removing.  They will stick, unless they are cool.  Store in refridgerator.
