Single Serving Baked Oatmeal Cups
A quick and freezer-friendly oatmeal breakfast to eat on the go
Servings 12 muffins
Cost $4
Ingredients
- 3 cups Old Fashioned Oats Steel Cut works well, but quick cooking oats are too runny
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 2 tbsp flavored protein powder I use vanilla usually
- 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 1/2 cup milk
- 2 each eggs
- 3 tbsp melted butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup mix in items like berries, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything that sounds tasty!
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Coat a muffin tin thoroughly with cooking spray. If you have silicone muffin cups, this would be a great place to use them!
- Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, protein powder, applesauce, milk, eggs, butter, and vanilla to a large bowl.
- Stir until well mixed.
- Fold in your mix-ins of choice.
- Spoon oatmeal mixture into the well-greased muffin tin until they are about ¾ full
- Bake for 20-25 minutes until they are golden brown and set when touched gently.
- Cool in the tin for about 5 minutes and then gently run a knife around the edge of each tin.
- Cool for another 5 minutes and then gently loosen and remove each from the muffin tin.
- Serve warm, or cool thoroughly before storing in the fridge or freezer.
Notes
Notes:
- These are great topped with Maple Syrup, honey, berries, or a swipe of peanut butter.
- Make these muffins vegan by using a vegan butter and egg replacer!
- Substitute the applesauce for any other pureed fruit/veggie like banana, pumpkin, sweet potato for a change in flavor.
- These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or wrapped well and stored in the freezer for up to 4 months.
- Silicone muffin liners help a ton with ensuring these don't stick.
