Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup diced apple
  • Optional: chopped nuts or raisins

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.
  5. Fold in the diced apple and any optional additions like nuts or raisins.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the cups are set and lightly golden brown.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the muffin tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • Store cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the cooled cups in a single layer on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container for up to 3 months.
  • Reheat individual cups in the microwave for 30-60 seconds, or until warmed through.
  • These are great for meal planning and busy mornings.
