Description

Easy Apple Cinnamon baked oatmeal cups recipe to make healthy tasty breakfast snacks with oats and warm spices in quick simple steps

Ingredients

Scale

2 cups rolled oats (old-fashioned, not instant)

1 large apple, peeled and diced

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

2 teaspoons baking powder

pinch of salt

1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup

1.5 cups unsweetened milk (dairy, almond, oat, or soy)

1 large egg

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional; walnuts or pecans)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease or line a muffin tin with paper liners for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, diced apple, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir these dry ingredients together until evenly mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the brown sugar (or maple syrup), milk, egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
Pour the wet ingredients over the oat mixture and stir gently until everything is moistened but not mushy. Fold in nuts now, if using.
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for a few minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
