Start the Day with Individual Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal Cups
Baked oatmeal is a favorite make ahead breakfast dish. Making them in a muffin pan is not only perfect for single servings, they're cute as a button, too. It never ceases to amaze me how something baked in different shapes tends to make it so much more unique and exciting. These oatmeal muffins are just that way and the kids love them, too.
Helpful Tips for Making Oatmeal Cups in a Muffin Pan
- I use old fashioned oats for these as they maintain texture and baked beautifully,
- If you prefer, almond milk can be substituted for cow’s milk. You could also adapt using oatmeal or soy milk.
- Eggs can be substituted for flax-seed eggs or any egg substitution that you've had success swapping out in other baked goods.
- To take the oatmeal cups in a slightly different flavor directions, you can use almond or maple extract rather than vanilla extract.
- Turbinado sugar also called, sugar in the raw, adds a nice crunch to the tops. Plus, it adds just a smidge of extra sweetness.
- You can use any variety of apples that you enjoy in these oatmeal cups. You may also decide to leave the peel on or remove it, there's no wrong way to do it.
- These oatmeal cups can be made in advance and chilled, then reheated in the microwave for quick breakfast on busy mornings. You can also freeze them for up to one month.
