Make these grab-and-go baked apple oatmeal cups for a healthy, portable breakfast. They are perfect for meal prep and can be customized for dairy-free or egg-free diets.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
  • 1/4 cup maple syrup
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup finely diced apples

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, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.
  4. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Do not overmix.
  5. Gently fold in the diced apples.
  6. Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about two-thirds full.
  7. Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
  8. Let the oatmeal cups cool in the muffin tin for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

  • For dairy-free: Use your favorite plant-based milk, such as almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • For egg-free: You can substitute the eggs with a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water, let sit for 5 minutes) or a commercial egg replacer.
  • Storage: Store cooled oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
  • Freezing: Wrap cooled oatmeal cups individually in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag or container. Freeze for up to 3 months.
  • Reheating: Microwave frozen oatmeal cups for 1-2 minutes, or until heated through. You can also reheat refrigerated cups for 30-60 seconds.
