Carrot Cake Baked Oatmeal Cups
Description
This recipe mixes almond milk, egg, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg to a smooth batter before stirring in rolled oats, shredded carrot, crushed pineapple with juice, and optional sultana raisins and nuts. The mixture is portioned into muffin cups and baked until set and golden on top.
The baking process melds the moisture of the carrots and pineapple with the oats and spices, producing a soft but structured cup with hints of sweetness and spice throughout. The raisins contribute occasional bursts of sweetness and the nuts add texture when included. The oatmeal cups can be served warm for breakfast or snacks.
Once cooled, they keep well refrigerated for up to a week or can be frozen for longer storage, making them convenient for meal prep. Reheating brings out the warming spices and soft texture akin to carrot cake.
