Ingredients
  

  • 1 and 1/2 cups milk (dairy or nondairy)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 3 cups old-fashioned whole rolled oats
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 heaping cup peeled chopped apple
  • 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans optional
  • coarse sugar for topping optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. If using muffin liners, spray them with nonstick spray. The oatmeal cups stick to the liners a bit regardless, so I recommend skipping them.
  • In a large bowl, whisk all of the ingredients together, except for the apples (and nuts and coarse sugar). Using a spoon or silicone spatula, fold in the apples and nuts (if using). Batter will be a little liquidy. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, making sure both the oats/apples and liquid are in each. Fill all the way to the top. See photo above. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 28-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top appears set. If the tops are browning very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil over the muffin pan.
  • Cool for 5-10 minutes before serving.
  • Cover leftover oatmeal cups tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.
