Simple, forgiving baked oatmeal cups that combine rolled oats, diced apples, and cinnamon for a healthy, grab-and-go breakfast perfect for busy mornings or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
  • 2 medium apples (peeled and diced)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 3 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Butter, coconut oil, or cooking spray for greasing

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Peel and dice the apples into small, bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; whisk to distribute evenly.
  4. In a separate bowl or measuring cup, whisk together eggs, milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until uniform.
  5. Pour wet ingredients over dry ingredients and stir gently until coated. Fold in diced apples.
  6. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin.
  7. Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are set.
  9. Let cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack or serving warm.

Notes

Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to prevent mushiness. Do not use instant or steel-cut oats. Let cups cool completely before storing to avoid sogginess. Can be frozen for up to 3 months.
