Ingredients
- 3/4 cup milk I used almond, 120g
- 1/2 cup banana about 1.5 medium bananas, mashed, 140g
- 1/2 cup applesauce unsweetened, 120g
- 2 egg large
- 2 Tbsp maple syrup pure, 30g
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 cups carrot finely grated, 170g
- 2 cups rolled oats 193g
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/2 cup raisins 80g
Cream cheese frosting:
- 4 Tbsp cream cheese reduced-fat, softened
- 4 tsp sugar 16g
- 2 tsp milk more as needed
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Grease a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray.
- Add the milk, mashed banana, applesauce, eggs, maple syrup and vanilla to a large bowl. Whisk together. Stir in the carrots.
- To the same bowl, add the oats, cinnamon, baking powder, nutmeg and salt. Mix together. Stir in the raisins.
- Scoop batter into the pan filing all the way to the top.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes or until a toothpick inserted comes out clean. Cool completely before frosting.
- To make the frosting, combine all the ingredients with a hand mixer. You can spread it on using a knife or make a small piping bag. Alternatively, you can keep frosting and oat cups stored separately and add when ready to serve (ideal if you plan on warming the oat cups up).
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Notes
- Optional add-ins: Chopped walnuts or pecans, shredded coconut, chocolate chips, ground flax, or protein powder.
- To store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 7 days. Enjoy chilled or reheat in the microwave for 10-15 seconds (or until warmed through).
- To freeze: Let the oatmeal cups cool completely. For best results, wrap each cup individually in wax paper then place all the cups in a freezer-safe ziplock bag. The cups will stay good for 3-4 months. If freezing, omit the icing until ready to eat.
