Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a standard muffin tin with nonstick spray, or line it with silicone muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, use a fork or potato masher to mash the ripe bananas until smooth.
Add the oat milk, ground flaxseed, and hemp seeds to the mashed bananas. Stir well to combine. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the flax seeds to hydrate and act as a flax egg.
Stir in the rolled oats, baking powder, and cinnamon. Mix until all the dry ingredients are evenly coated in the wet ingredients. Now is the time for add-ins like chocolate chips, chia seeds, or dried fruit.
Scoop the batter evenly into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and slightly firm to the touch.
Let the oatmeal cups cool in the muffin pan for 10 minutes. Enjoy!
