Description

These Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups are a delicious blend of baked oatmeal and muffins, crafted with simple vegan ingredients. Perfect for a healthy breakfast, they combine rolled oats, apples, cinnamon, and a touch of sweetness from maple syrup and applesauce. Baked to golden perfection, these cups are wholesome, satisfying, and easy to make.


Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 3 cups rolled oats
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Wet Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups almond milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • ¼ cup maple syrup

Mix-ins

  • 1 cup apples, finely chopped
  • ½ cup chopped pecans (optional)


Instructions

  1. Preheat oven. Set your oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray a 12-cup muffin pan with nonstick spray to prepare for baking.
  2. Mix dry ingredients. In a large bowl, whisk together the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt until evenly combined.
  3. Add wet ingredients. Pour in almond milk, unsweetened applesauce, and maple syrup to the dry mixture. Stir thoroughly to create a consistent batter.
  4. Fold in apples and pecans. Gently fold the finely chopped apples and optional pecans into the oatmeal mixture, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
  5. Fill muffin cups. Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin pan, filling each cup all the way to the top. The batter might appear wet, which is expected.
  6. Bake. Place the muffin pan in the oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges turn lightly browned and the tops are set.
  7. Cool and serve. Allow the oatmeal cups to cool completely in the tin before removing and serving to ensure they hold together well.

Notes

  • For a nut-free version, omit the pecans.
  • Use any plant-based milk of your preference instead of almond milk.
  • These oatmeal cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
  • Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before serving for a warm breakfast.
  • Adding a teaspoon of vanilla extract can enhance flavor.
