Ingredients in Apple Cinnamon Baked Oatmeal Cups

rolled oats – make sure you grab certified gluten-free if needed! I like using Bob’s Red Mill Gluten Free Whole Grain Rolled Oats. non-dairy milk – I like using unsweetened vanilla almond milk. You can also make homemade almond milk using my recipe. ground flaxseed – flaxseeds are great sources of healthy fats, fiber and even plant-based protein! apples – you’ll need about 1-2 apples, peeled and finely chopped into pieces. applesauce – make your own homemade applesauce or use store-bought. Just make sure it’s unsweetened if you go that route. cinnamon – cinnamon with apple is the ultimate fall flavor combo! sea salt – brings all the flavors together. maple syrup – one of my preferred natural sweeteners. You can totally skip this or use another liquid sweetener like honey or agave. vanilla extract – the perfect flavor enhancer! almond butter – a drizzle for topping!

How to Make Baked Oatmeal Cups

In a large bowl, mix your dry ingredients together – the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk and ground flaxseed. Let that mixture sit for about five minutes before adding in the rest of the wet ingredients – the applesauce, maple syrup, almond butter and vanilla. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and gently stir to combine. Fold in the chopped apples and then scoop the mixture into muffin a muffin pan lined with silicone or paper muffin liners and top each with additional diced apples.

Storing Baked Oatmeal Cups

Let the oatmeal cups cool completely before storing them in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer. I like to keep mine in the freezer (because they last longer!). When it’s time to enjoy, you can eat them cold or my personal preference is to pop them in the toaster oven to heat them up a bit!

Reheating Frozen Oatmeal Cups

You can thaw the frozen cups by transferring them from the freezer to the fridge the night before or cook the oat cups directly from frozen.

Via Microwave

Remove the cup from the liner and wrap it in a paper towel. Microwave in 30-second increments until warm throughout, about 1-2 minutes total.

Via Toaster Over

Cut the cup in half and heat on low (250-300°F) for 5-6 minutes or until the cup is warm throughout.
