Ingredients

Oatmeal Cups

  • 1 ½ cups 360ml nonfat milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) maple syrup (or honey)
  • 1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 cups (240g) old-fashioned oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

Apple Oatmeal Cups (for 12)

  • 1 cup peeled chopped apple
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon additional
  • 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans (OPTIONAL)

Blueberry Oatmeal Cups (for 12)

  • 1 cup blueberries fresh or frozen

Banana Oatmeal Cups (for 12)

  • 1/2 cup mashed bananas

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. If you want to use muffin cup liners, coat with nonstick spray too. They tend to stick to the liners so I prefer to skip using them.
  • Whisk the Oatmeal Cups base ingredients together in a large bowl. Then fold fruit of choice; apples, blueberries, and nuts if using. If you're making Banana Oatmeal Cups, substitute the mashed banana for the applesauce. If making plain, skip the fruit additions.
  • The batter will be a liquid-y. Spoon evenly into muffin cups and all the way to the top. Be sure there is both liquid and oats and apples or blueberries in each cup.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top appears to be set. If the muffin cups brown too quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil or parchment on top.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Notes

  1. Oats: Use old-fashioned rolled oats for the best texture.
  2. Sweetener: Maple syrup or honey both work well for natural sweetness.
  3. Fruit options: Try blueberries, apples, bananas, or keep them plain.
  4. Freezing/Reheating: Freeze up to 2 months. Reheat from frozen in the microwave (30-second increments) or in the oven (350°F for 5–6 minutes).
  5. Dairy-free: Use non-dairy milk if desired.
