Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups
Description
This recipe creates individual oatmeal cups by blending oats with cinnamon and baking powder for leavening, then adding almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup for moisture and natural sweetness. Chopped apples and pecans fold in to contribute fresh fruit flavor and optional nutty texture.
The baking process results in lightly browned edges and a set top while maintaining moistness inside. The oats provide chewiness, and cinnamon imparts warm spice notes paired with the sweet apples. These cups can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
They freeze well for up to three months, making them convenient for meal prepping. To reheat, thaw overnight and warm in the microwave or oven. You can substitute sweeteners or milk as preferred without significantly changing the fundamental texture or flavor.
Ingredients
- 3 cups rolled oats
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 ½ cups almond milk
- 1 cup applesauce unsweetened
- ¼ cup maple syrup
- 1 cup apple finely chopped
- ½ cup pecans optional, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F. Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. Add the milk, applesauce and maple syrup and stir until well-combined.
- Fold in the chopped apples and pecans. Then transfer the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling all the way to the top. The batter will seem a little wet, but this is normal.
- Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the top is set.
- All to cool completely in the muffin tin before serving.
Notes
- These oatmeal cups freeze well for up to three months; thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
- Reheat in the microwave for about 30-45 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes until warmed through.
- Milk and sweeteners can be substituted (e.g., any dairy or non-dairy milk, honey or agave syrup) to fit dietary preferences.
