Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) milk (dairy or nondairy)
2 large eggs*
1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup*
1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned whole oats*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 heaping cup peeled chopped apple*
optional: 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans
optional: coarse sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. If using muffin liners, spray them with nonstick spray. The oatmeal cups stick to the liners a bit regardless, so I recommend skipping them.
  • Whisk all of the ingredients together, except for the apples (and nuts and coarse sugar), in 1 large bowl. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the apples and nuts (if using). Batter will be a little liquid-y. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, making sure both the oats/apples and liquid are in each. Fill all the way to the top. See photo above. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top appears set. If the tops appear to brown very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Cover leftover oatmeal cups tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats: Steel-cut oats are the best choice for freezer oatmeal cups because they hold their shape and texture well when frozen and reheated.
  • Use fresh fruit: Fresh fruit will give your oatmeal cups the best flavor. If you're using frozen fruit, be sure to thaw it before adding it to the cups.
  • Don't overfill the cups: Leave about 1/2 inch of space at the top of each cup so the oatmeal has room to expand when it's reheated.
  • Seal the cups tightly: Make sure the cups are sealed tightly with plastic wrap or a lid before freezing. This will prevent freezer burn.
  • Reheat the oatmeal cups properly: When you're ready to eat an oatmeal cup, thaw it overnight in the refrigerator or reheat it in the microwave for 1-2 minutes.

Conclusion:

Apple cinnamon freezer oatmeal cups are a delicious and convenient way to enjoy a healthy breakfast. They're easy to make ahead of time and can be reheated in the microwave or oven. With a variety of toppings to choose from, you can customize your oatmeal cups to your liking. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast, give apple cinnamon freezer oatmeal cups a try!
