Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Muffins Recipe
These Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Muffins combine rolled oats with spices and diced apples for tender, moist muffins with a warm cinnamon flavor. The batter mixes wet ingredients like applesauce, eggs, and milk with oats and cinnamon, then bakes until set and slightly golden. The recipe yields 16 muffins that store well in the refrigerator or freezer, making them a practical breakfast or snack option.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup light brown sugar packed
- 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened
- 2 egg large
- 2 tbsp. coconut oil melted and slightly cooled (or vegetable oil, canola oil, etc.)
- 1 cup milk or your preferred milk/milk alternative, 2%
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups rolled oats not quick cooking or steal cut, old fashioned
- 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 1/2 cups apple from about 2 small apples, peeled and diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line muffin tins with muffin liners and spray the liners with cooking spray.
- In a large bowl, add the brown sugar, apple sauce, eggs, and melted coconut oil. Whisk until smooth. Add the milk, and vanilla. Whisk until smooth.
- Add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet ingredients. Stir until well combined. Add the diced apples. Stir to combine.
- Fill the muffin cups just shy of full (makes 16 muffins). Be sure to scoop from the bottom of the bowl to get an even mix of oats and liquid in each muffin. Bake for 30 minutes. Cool for at least 5 minutes before serving.
- Cool completely before storing in a sealed container. Store in the refrigerator or freeze for later.
