SERVES
12
Ingredients
- Cooking spray (optional)
- 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1 cup 2% milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray or use silicone baking cups.
- In a large bowl, combine the oats, brown sugar, and baking powder. Stir well and set aside. In a second bowl, whisk together the applesauce, milk, eggs, and vanilla. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix.
- Scoop the batter into the prepared muffin pan. Bake until the muffins are just golden on top, 25 to 30 minutes. Remove the muffins from the pan and let cool for at least five minutes.
- Serve warm from the oven or at room temperature, or let cool completely and store in the refrigerator for up to one week or in the freezer for up to six months.
BANANA-BLUEBERRY BAKED OATMEAL CUPS
- Swap the applesauce for three mashed bananas and fold one cup fresh blueberries into the batter before filling the muffin pan.
CHOCOLATE-ALMOND BAKED OATMEAL CUPS
- Stir 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips and 1/2 cup chopped almonds into the batter before filling the muffin pan, to add both sweetness and crunch.
PUMPKIN SPICE BAKED OATMEAL CUPS
- Instead of using unsweetened applesauce, add one cup pure pumpkin puree and two teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice (page 231) to the batter. Top each with a whole pecan before baking.
