Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups
Description
This Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups recipe begins with a dry mix of rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and sea salt. Separately, non-dairy milk and ground flaxseed are whisked together to hydrate before mixing with applesauce, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract. This wet mixture is folded into the dry ingredients, and diced apples are folded in for added texture and flavor.
The batter is portioned into muffin tins lined with silicone or paper liners lightly greased with non-stick spray. Remaining diced apples top each cup before baking at 350°F for 30-35 minutes until the centers set and a toothpick comes out clean. After cooling, the oatmeal cups maintain a firm but tender crumb.
These oatmeal cups make convenient breakfast options and can be refrigerated or frozen for storage. They reheat well in the microwave or toaster oven, with instructions to remove liners and warm in short increments until heated through.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats old fashioned
- 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ½ teaspoon salt sea salt
- 1½ cups non-dairy milk I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk
- 2 Tablespoons Flaxseed ground
- ½ cup applesauce unsweetened
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 2 Tablespoons almond butter look for one that's drippy, natural
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ cup apple divided, diced
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and line a 12-cup muffin tin with silicone liners. Paper liners work too. Spray liners with non-stick spray.
- In a large bowl, mix rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt.
- In another bowl, whisk together almond milk and flaxseed. Let sit for about 5 minutes before adding remaining wet ingredients: applesauce, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla.
- Pour wet ingredients into the large bowl with the dry ingredients. Gently stir to combine. Fold in 1/4 cup of the diced apples.
- Scoop mixture evenly into muffin tin with liners and top each cup with remaining diced apples.
- Bake 30-35 minutes or until the center of the cups has set and a toothpick comes out clean.
- Allow cups to cool before transferring to a storage container and placing them in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
- To reheat frozen oatmeal cups, thaw in the fridge overnight or microwave wrapped in a paper towel in 30-second intervals until warm.
- Toaster oven reheating works by cutting the cup in half and heating on low (250-300°F) for 5-6 minutes until heated through.
