Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups
These easy Baked Apple Oatmeal Cups are perfect for an easy and healthy breakfast throughout the week!
Ingredients
- 3 cups (300 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup (240 ml) milk (almond or regular dairy milk work well)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 medium Granny Smith apple , peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan very well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
- Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
- In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Add the chopped apple and gently mix it in.
- Evenly distribute the mixture between all 12 cavities in the prepared muffin pan. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 27 minutes, or until the tops of the oatmeal cups are lightly golden brown and firm.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the oatmeal cups and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
Notes
Storage instructions: Oatmeal cups may be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. These may also be frozen for up to 3 months, thaw overnight in the refrigerator, then reheat in the microwave.
Oats: I recommend using old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
Maple Syrup: If you don't have maple syrup on hand, you can substitute an equal amount of honey.
