Calories: 110kcal
Ingredients
- 3½ cups rolled oats
- 2 eggs whisked
- 1 large granny smith apple peeled, cored and diced about 1 ¼ cups
- 1¾ cups vanilla almond milk
- ¾ cup brown sugar and 2 Tablespoons brown sugar divided
- ⅓ cup applesauce
- 1½ teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon allspice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Prepare a muffin pan by spraying it with cooking spray.
- Mix the rolled oats, eggs, granny smith apple, vanilla almond milk, ¾ cup of divided brown sugar, applesauce, baking powder, cinnamon, and allspice in a large bowl.
- Pour the oatmeal mixture into the muffin pan and sprinkle about ¼ teaspoon of the remaining brown sugar on top of each muffin. You should have about enough for all your muffins.
- Bake in the oven for 30 minutes or until an inserted toothpick comes out clean.
- Carefully remove the muffins from the pan and let cool.
- Plate your muffins and serve either warm or cold.
Notes
Storage :
- Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 week. They’re delicious either chilled or warmed before serving.
- Freezer: Let the cups cool completely, then wrap each one individually or separate layers with parchment in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator or heat straight from frozen in the microwave for 60–90 seconds.
- Reheating: Warm in the microwave for 30–60 seconds, or place in a 350°F oven for about 5–6 minutes until heated through.
- Spray the pan well. Since these cups don’t have butter or oil, they can stick easily if the pan isn’t properly greased. Make sure to coat each cup thoroughly, including the sides.
- Divide the batter evenly. Give the batter a quick stir before each pour, as the oats and liquid can separate over time. This helps ensure each cup bakes up with the right texture.
- Let them cool before removing. They may look just barely set when they come out of the oven, and that’s okay. As they cool, they’ll firm up and hold their shape much better when you take them out of the pan.
