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.

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups (300 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup (240 ml) milk ((almond or regular dairy milk work well))
2 large eggs
1/2 cup pure maple syrup
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 medium Granny Smith apple (, peeled, cored, and chopped (about 1 cup))

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (177°C). Spray a 12-count muffin pan very well with non-stick cooking spray and set aside.
  • Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt to a large mixing bowl and mix until well combined.
  • In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until fully combined. Add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients and mix until well combined. Add the chopped apple and gently mix it in.
  • Evenly distribute the mixture between all 12 cavities in the prepared muffin pan. Bake at 350°F for 25 to 27 minutes, or until the tops of the oatmeal cups are lightly golden brown and firm.
  • Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for about 5 to 10 minutes, then remove the oatmeal cups and transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your muffins will be.
  • Whisk your dry ingredients together before adding them to the wet ingredients. This will help to ensure that the dry ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the batter.
  • Do not overmix the batter. Overmixing can make the muffins tough.
  • Fill the muffin cups only about 2/3 full. This will allow the muffins to rise properly.
  • Bake the muffins at a high temperature for the first 10 minutes, then reduce the temperature for the remaining baking time. This will help to create a crispy crust and a moist interior.
  • Let the muffins cool completely before serving. This will help to prevent them from falling apart.

Conclusion:

These apple oatmeal breakfast cups are a delicious and healthy way to start your day. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. You can add different fruits, nuts, or seeds to the batter, or you can top the muffins with a glaze or frosting.

These muffins are also a great way to use up leftover oatmeal. If you have some oatmeal that you don't know what to do with, just add it to the batter for these muffins. You'll be surprised at how delicious they turn out!
