  8. Remove the oatmeal cups from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack.

Notes

[‘Don’t overmix the batter to avoid dense oatmeal cups.’, ‘Use ripe bananas for natural sweetness and better texture.’, ‘Taste the batter and adjust sweetness with more honey or syrup if desired.’, ‘Grease your muffin tin well or use high-quality liners to prevent sticking.’, ‘Check doneness by inserting a toothpick into the center of a cupβ€”it should come out clean.’]
