Baked Oatmeal Cups
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup avocado oil
- 3 tbsp maple syrup
- 1/2 cup unsweetened apple sauce
- 1 1/2 cups milk
- 2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 2 tsp cinnamon
- 3 cups Old Fashioned oats
- 2 tsp baking powder
Toppings
- fruit
- chopped nuts
- nut butter
- chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease a muffin tin or line with paper muffin cups.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, avocado oil, and maple syrup until combined. Add the applesauce, milk, vanilla extract, salt and cinnamon.
- Stir in the oats and baking powder and mix until combined.
- Spoon the oat mixture into the muffin tin, filling each muffin cup with about 1/4 cup of the mixture.
- Add desired toppings. I usually press the toppings down into the oat mixture slightly so they do not fall off after baking.
- Bake for 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to finish cooling.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can also freeze them and thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the morning.
