Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup applesauce or 2 large ripe mashed bananas
- ½ cup creamy almond butter
- 2 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups oat milk*
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 Tbsp pure maple syrup**
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ½ tsp sea salt
- 1 Granny Smith apple peeled, cored, and chopped
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a muffin tin with muffin papers.
- Combine the applesauce and creamy almond butter in a large mixing bowl and stir well until combined.
- Add in the eggs, oat milk, vanilla extract, and pure maple syrup and mix well until all of the wet ingredients are combined.
- Pour the oats, ground cinnamon, and sea salt (dry ingredients) into the mixing bowl and mix until everything is combined.
- Transfer the batter to the prepared muffin pan, filling the cups two thirds of the way up with the oat mixture. Sprinkle the chopped apple on top of each oatmeal cup. I do this instead of mixing the apples into the oat batter to ensure each muffin gets about the same amount of apple rather than being unevenly distributed. If you’d prefer mixing the apples into the batter, feel free!
- Bake on the center rack of the preheated oven for 22 to 30 minutes, or until the muffin cups are golden brown and test clean.
- Allow the baked oatmeal muffins to cool completely (at least 25-30 minutes) before peeling off the muffin liners and eating.
Notes
Store leftover apple baked oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week. These baked oatmeal muffins freeze very well! Simply freeze them in a zip lock bag for up to three months.
