What ingredients are in baked oatmeal cups?
-2 eggs
-1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-2 cups unsweetened applesauce
-1 tablespoon honey
-1½ cups unsweetened almond milk (regular milk works fine too)
-2½ cups rolled oats
-1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
-1½ teaspoons baking powder
How do you make baked oatmeal cups?
First you need to combine the eggs, vanilla, applesauce, honey and milk together and mix until well combined.
In a separate bowl, mix the oats, cinnamon and baking powder together. Add the oat mixture to the applesauce mixture and stir until completely mixed. Scoop the batter into well-greased muffin tins. (My favorite way to scoop muffins is to use a large cookie scoop! You will use a #16 scoop which is perfect for cupcakes and muffins – it gives you the perfect amount of batter every single time and all of your baked goods will be consistent in size.)
If you want to add toppings, place them on top of each oatmeal cup and use a toothpick or butter knife to slightly swirl them into the batter. Bake the oatmeal cups at 350°F for 26-30 minutes or until golden brown. Serve the baked oatmeal immediately or cool to room temperature and store in an airtight container. The oatmeal cups can be stored at room temperature for 2-3 days.
I prefer baked oatmeal when it is warm, but baked oatmeal cups are also good at room temperature. Each baked oatmeal cup can be reheated very easily in the microwave – just microwave each cup for about 15 seconds.

I love that each batch makes 24 baked oatmeal cups! Everyone in the family can choose their own toppings and customize several oatmeal cups that are just the way they like them! My kids are a lot more likely to eat healthy foods when they are involved in preparing them. Choosing and adding their own toppings to the baked oatmeal is fun and easy for even small children to do!

This recipe calls for almond milk, but you can use soy milk or regular milk – any milk will work just fine!
Is baked oatmeal gluten-free?
Yes, baked oatmeal is gluten-free as long as you make sure to use oats that are gluten-free. There are certain brands of oats that are certified as being gluten-free and they will clearly state that on the packaging.
Can you use quick oats in baked oatmeal?
I prefer to use rolled oats in baked oatmeal because I like the consistency and texture of them better. You can definitely swap quick oats instead, but the texture of the baked oatmeal will be a little less chewy and a little more dense. This is definitely a personal preference thing so use whichever kind you like better!
