Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 large apple, peeled, cored and finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the oatmeal cups evenly.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats and ground cinnamon, stirring them together to evenly distribute the spice.
  3. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk until smooth and fully combined.
  4. Combine All Ingredients: Add the wet mixture to the dry oat and cinnamon mixture, then fold in the chopped apples, mixing gently until everything is evenly incorporated.
  5. Portion Into Muffin Pan: Grease a 12-cup muffin pan or line with paper liners. Spoon the oatmeal batter evenly into each cup, filling them about three-quarters full.
  6. Bake: Place the muffin pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until the oatmeal cups are set and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or store for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Use rolled oats for the best texture; quick oats can be substituted but may result in a softer cup.
  • Add a touch of sweetener like maple syrup or honey if you prefer a sweeter oatmeal cup.
  • These oatmeal cups reheated well in the microwave, making them great for meal prep.
  • Feel free to add nuts or raisins for extra texture and flavor.
