    Apple Baked Oatmeal Cups

    Apple Spice Baked Oatmeal Cups 188 calories and 5 Weight Watchers Points + #weightwatchers

    Baked oatmeal cups have become a breakfast favorite in my house. My kids love them and so do I. They are easy to make, perfectly portioned controlled, and freeze beautifully. So, you can make 2-3 batches on the weekend and have breakfast ready for the rest of the month.

    A few weeks ago I made baked berry oatmeal cups with scrumptious almond streusel topping. I am kind of obsessed with streusel toppings. Seriously, they can bring any baked good to a whole new level. Anyway, like many of my recipes, once I find a recipe the whole family loves I try to create as many versions as possible.

    Enter these apple spice baked oatmeal cups.

    For this recipe I skinned and chopped up 2 gala apples. This gave me about 1½ cups. You can use any apple variety you like. I also included some walnuts. Nuts are good for bulking up the nutritional value of a recipe. However, you can leave them out if you are not a nut fan.

    Once your apple is chopped up this recipe comes together pretty quickly. A tip to keep in mind is after you divide the oatmeal mixture among the muffin tins press down on each one with a spoon. You want to make sure the oats are covered in the liquid. You can see pictures of what this looks like in the berry baked oatmeal recipe.

    My kids love these apple spice baked oatmeal cups. My oldest said they are her favorite and she loves the pieces of apple. The apple pieces turn nice and tender as they cook. Think apple pie. So good!

    Ingredients

    • 3 cups rolled oats or old fashioned oats
    • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
    • 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • ¼ teaspoon salt
    • 2 large eggs
    • ¼ cup packed light brown sugar
    • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 cup 1% milk
    • ¼ cup melted coconut oil
    • 1 ½ cups peeled and finely chopped apple about 2 small apples (I use Gala apples)
    • ¼ cup finely chopped walnuts
    • Cooking spray

    Instructions

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    • In a medium bowl stir together rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Set to the side.
    • In another medium bowl crack and lightly beat the eggs. Whisk in the the brown sugar until blended. Whisk in the Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, milk, and coconut oil.
    • Stir oats mixture into the wet ingredients until combined.
    • Gently stir in the chopped apple and walnuts.
    • Spray a 12-cup muffin pan with cooking spray. Drop oatmeal mixture, using a 1/3 measuring cup, into each of the muffin pan cups. Using a spoon press down the oat mixture into the liquid in each of the cups. This is to make sure the liquid is evenly distribute among the oats.
    • Bake for 30 minutes or until the top is lightly browned.
    • Take out of the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool for 5 minutes. Remove muffins and serve with pure maple syrup.

    Notes

    Make ahead instructions
    These baked oatmeal cups can be made completely ahead of time and frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave, on high, for 2 minutes. Put a coffee cup of water in as it cooks. This is a little tip that works to keep food from drying out in the microwave. Serve with pure maple syrup.

      I suggest that instead of specifying apples, you state 1-1/2 cups of apples or ANY fresh fruit or berry.

      My family loves these! The apple are my favorite, but I’ve substituted blueberries as well. Depending on which ingredients I have on hand we use various sweeteners, mix ins, and milks. We make them regularly, great recipe.

      When I put this recipe into MFP it comes up with 306 calories each, not the 188 as stated. Am I doing something wrong?

      is there a sugar content for these. I have the protein carbs and fat but I need to keep track of the sugar as well.

      thanks so much

      Is it possible to make the mixture and freeze it before actually cooking the cups? I’d love to make a big batch, but I don’t always have time to do do everything. It would be nice to premarket the mixture so I can cook some ahead of time and already be ready for my next batch when I need it. Plus, it’s always easier to make a double batch when all the ingredients are available instead of making a messy kitchen more than once.

      Just wondering if you have any experience or suggestions with that. Thank you for the cups recipes (egg, pumpkin, etc). I live on them because I work 2 jobs and only get every other weekend off. You’re awesome

      Made these this afternoon and used melted butter and shredded coconut in place of the coconut oil (I didn’t have any). The look, smell and taste amazing. Thanks for the recipe!

      These look good, anything else I can use instead of the brown sugar? Hubby is diabetic and I am eating clean, no sugar at all.
      Thanks!

        maple syrup or honey? What do you usually use to sweeten things up? Maybe a banana?

          I use Splenda. I know you might not want to use artificial sweetener.

      I love these oatmeal cups! I have tried the banana chocolate chip and mixed berry ones. These are so easy to pop in the microwave for a healthy snack. I would love to see more oatmeal cup recipes !

          Dumb question: can you sub steel cut oats for rolled oats?

        • Tammy Kresge says

          April 21, 2015 at 3:09 pm

          You would have to par cook the steel cut oats I would think because they do take a lot longer to cook than rolled oats.

        You can use any cooking oil (canola or vegetable) or melted butter (preferably unsalted).

      Should the 1/4 cup of coconut oil be measured as a solid and then melted? Or should it be a 1/4 cup of melted coconut oil?

      These look yummy! Any suggestions for a non-dairy substitution for the Greek yogurt? Would maple syrup work in place of brown sugar?
