Baked Oatmeal Cups

Baked Oatmeal Cups 

This past weekend I went on a baking spree. I was in full on Martha Stewart mode. My husband was pretty pumped about all the fancy dinners and fun breakfasts that I made. These oatmeal cups were super easy and tastes great. A little less clean that I would personally like because of the brown sugar but it was a hit with them so that is all that matters. My plans were to make these ahead of time on Sunday so I could pack them for breakfasts at the beginning part of this week! I hope your family loves it as much as we did. 

Ingredients

• 2 eggs

• ¼ cup melted coconut oil

• 1 cup packed organic brown sugar

• ½ cup organic applesauce - no sugar added

• 1½ cups skim milk (or whatever milk you like)

• 2 tsp. vanilla extract

• ½ tsp. salt

• 1 tbsp. ground cinnamon

• 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats

• 2 tsp. baking powder

• Optional: your favorite toppings (fruit, nuts, chocolate chips, etc.)

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a muffin tin with paper or paper/foil muffin liners.

1. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, oil, and brown sugar until sugar is dissolved. Add the applesauce, milk, vanilla, salt, and cinnamon. Whisk until well combined. Stir in the oats and baking powder.

1. Fill the muffin tin with ¼ cup of the oat mixture in each muffin cup. Add your favorite toppings. Push the toppings down into the oat mixture with a spoon.

1. Bake for 30 minutes. Let them cool for 5 minutes before eating. Store in an airtight container. 

* We loved the chocolate banana chip combo the best! These were super moist! Made about 18 oatmeal cups.
