So many mornings we are running late for school and I will quickly throw instant oatmeal into the microwave...no more! My kids LOVE these and they can choose whatever toppings/flavors they want.
You can eat them like a muffin for an easy grab-and-go breakfast or you can eat them like oatmeal by simply putting in a bowl and stirring in a little warm milk. I store leftovers in the freezer, take one out the night before to thaw in the fridge and reheat in the microwave for about 60 seconds.
INDIVIDUAL BAKED OATMEAL CUPS- CLEAN EATING
makes 12 servings
adapted from sugarfreemom.com
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cups applesauce, unsweetened
1 banana, mashed
1/4 cup honey
2 1/2 cups, Old Fashioned rolled oats
1/8 cup chai seeds (optional)
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups milk
Optional toppings: blueberries, raisins, walnuts, chocolate chips, pomegranate seeds.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix eggs, vanilla, applesauce, banana and honey together in a bowl.
Add in oats, chai seeds (if using), cinnamon, baking powder, salt and mix well with wet ingredients.
Finally pour in milk and combine.
Line a 12 cup muffin tin with paper liners.
Divide mixture evenly into muffin tin cups. I used a 1/4 measuring cup, measure just a tad under 1/4 cup to make 12 servings.
Add the toppings...
My daughter chose blueberries, my son chose chocolate chips (of course), I sprinkled pomegranate seeds on mine (after baked) and my husband chose brown sugar.
As many of you know, I am passionate about nature and wildlife and I am constantly looking around to see nature in action. The other morning I saw it! I saw a coyote hunting a rabbit right in front of my living room window...
I first saw a coyote slowly walking around outside my house and then he suddenly took off after a rabbit. I grabbed my camera as fast as I could and I managed to catch the very end of the hunt.
It is odd to see a coyote right in the middle of the city where I live, but apparently a small coyote pack has found the perfect spot in a wooded area right in my backyard. Every night at about midnight they start yipping and yelping, it is an eerie sound. My dogs are constantly on the lookout and so am I!

ReplyDeleteJust made these! Very good! I think they had a little too much cinnamon in them, however, and needed a little more sweet. I will try next time with less cinnamon, and perhaps a little natural brown sugar in them. Thanks for the amazing recipe!
ReplyDeleteI'm about to try these, hoping the kids like them for a quick easy breakfast! Do you freeze them in cupcake liners?
ReplyDeleteYes, freeze in the liners
ReplyDeleteYes, freeze in the liners
ReplyDeleteI take offense at your 'suggesting' I do the same as you.
ReplyDeleteNot sure my last comment went thru...Did you bake with any of the toppings on? The chocolate chips obviously don't looked baked, but I couldnt tell on the blueberries. Just curious, thanks!
ReplyDeleteYes I baked with all the toppings on except the pomegranate seeds I added after it was baked.
DeleteWhen you wanna have some from the freezer, do you let them thaw in the fridge over night and them microwave them before eating or thaw- grab and go?
ReplyDeletethis is making more than 12....maybe 24??
ReplyDeleteCan you make without the honey? Or do you have a suggestion to sub it out? Would like to feed to my 9 mo old ��
ReplyDeleteSure, try maple syrup or no sweetener at all.
ReplyDeleteSo they aren't eaten as muffins? You say add milk as in into a bowl with the oatmeal muffin? I'm sorry I was a little confused. Either way, sounds delicious!
ReplyDeleteI too am confused. Do these turn out like muffins or are they more like a microwave oatmeal?
ReplyDeleteYou can eat them either way. When they come out of the oven we eat them like muffins. I will store leftovers in the freezer until ready to use then thaw in the fridge overnight and microwave in the morning. Some mornings we eat them on-the-go as muffins and sometimes if we are not in a rush we will put one in a bowl and pour a little warm milk on them, stir and eat as oatmeal.
ReplyDeleteHow necessary is the applesauce? Any suggestions for an ingredient to use in place of it?
ReplyDeletethey were great, thanks! Wondering if you know the calorie content?
ReplyDeleteI made these last night and they were amazing. taste even better this morning. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIs it 350 F or 350 C?
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Fahrenheit! :)
ReplyDeleteFound these on Pinterest. Thanks so much for sharing! They look delicious! I haaaaaaaate bananas. I don't like the taste or the texture, but I do understand how healthy they are. Can they be eliminated from the recipe and if not, how strong is the taste in the final product?
ReplyDeleteI too am looking for a banana substitute, due to severe allergy. Suggestions?
ReplyDeleteI am in the same allergy boat regarding bananas, any suggestions?
ReplyDeleteBummer, allergies are the worst! I have never heard of banana allergies. I am not sure if it will work out but how about 1/3 cup pumpkin purée. If you find something that works please post so others can use. Thanks
ReplyDeleteBanana allergies are associated with latex allergies. Kiwi, avocado, chestnut, and passionfruit are also associated
DeleteWho cares? Probably no one but those with the actual allergy...
DeleteDo these need to be stored in the fridge?
ReplyDeleteWhat does the milk add? I just made these and forgot to add the milk.
ReplyDeleteCan you tell me what you would count each muffin when on the 21 day fix? These sound delicious, I cannot wait to try them! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi
ReplyDeleteI have the same question? I'm not sure where to place them in the 21 day fix, please tell me ur secret!
Can you substitute almond milk for regular milk??
ReplyDeleteWhat containers do this fall under for the 21 day fix??
ReplyDeleteI just found this recipe on Pinterest under 21 Day Fix. Could you update us with the container counts please? Thanks so much!
ReplyDeleteI assume you have large dogs otherwise you should be very careful. Where I live coyotes take out small dogs as well as cats and any other small animals they can get. Have seen results of pack taking down deer. Don't much care for coyotes. I know they have as much right, etc etc etc.
ReplyDeleteI like your coyote pics and I might try the recipe too :-)
ReplyDeleteHi, just wondering about the 21 day fix container colors? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI have had a few comments about "21 day fix" and I am sorry but I do not know what the 21 day fix is. If anyone can answer the questions from commentors I would appreciate it. Thanks
ReplyDeleteWhat would you recommend as a substitute for Apple sause?
ReplyDeletefor the 21dfx, I would probably only count it as 1 yellow. there really isn't enough protein or fruit to count a red or purple.
ReplyDeleteI have made these a few times now and they are such a hit with my 2 year old who calls them ''pancakes'' lol. My husband and I like them too! Thanks for sharing
ReplyDeleteThese were divine!! I "veganized" the recipe by using almond milk and replacing the egg with 1/4 cup of applesauce.
ReplyDeleteI made these yesterday, they were GREAT. I added a little brown sugar as suggested. A winner recipe for me.
ReplyDeleteAny idea the calorie count on these?
My coach and I decided it was 1 red (egg) one yellow (oats) and one purple (banana and added berries)
ReplyDeleteI'm also curious about the calorie count, as I'm tracking those in my fit bit :-)
ok if you eat all 12 I can see .5 red (2 eggs=1 red not 1) Am I wrong here? For one or two a day it would be way less than .5
DeleteMade these tonight...and impressed! I substituted with coconut milk and used raw unfiltered honey. Love that they are gluten free as I have an intolerance due to Hashimoto's. These will most certainly be made again! My daughter thinks they'd be great with apple chunks so we'll be trying that next time.
ReplyDeleteI imported the recipe into my fitness pal and with a serving size of 12 each muffin (without toppings) is approximately 133 cal
ReplyDeleteI have steel cut oats and quick oats. Can I use one of those or should I go to the store for the old fashioned rolled oats? Thanks!
ReplyDeleteI made these this morning. I topped half with golden raisins and half with blueberries. Wonderful! Thank you so much for the recipe. It will be nice to have a grab and go healthy breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI made them tonight I halved the recipe it was amazing ! If I'm gonna eat them within the next two days is fridge okay or still freeze ? My blue berries and strawberries were kinda on their last leg which is why I'm not sure
ReplyDeleteI followed the recipe exactly and they came out perfectly. Using the scant 1/4 batter per liner, it made 18, so next time I will make them bigger. Also, they stuck to the paper liners a little but, so I might spray them with oil next time. Thanks for a yummy and convenient breakfast recipe!
ReplyDeleteCan you use steel cut oats?
ReplyDeleteSubstitute organic canned pumpkin for the banana.
ReplyDeleteI use Steele Cut Oats.
ReplyDeleteIt's Chia* seeds just FYI
ReplyDeleteChai seeds aren't a thing
I didn't really like them. They have a weird texture and taste. Was the batter supposed to be so runny?
ReplyDeleteFor those interested in calories go to www.eatracker.ca and enter the recipe, it will break down the nutrition info for you. I use this dietitians of Canada website for my recipe creations and it's great for nutrition breakdown
ReplyDeleteThese were SOOOOO good! My kids loved them too. I made a double batch thinking I would freeze the other half, didn't even make it to the freezer because they were gone! I made mine with raisins and chopped pecans! Thank you for the recipe!!!

ReplyDeleteThe title on Pinterest says these are 21 Day Fix approved. Can you tell me what the color portions are?
ReplyDeleteI see my question was answered above.
ReplyDeleteYum, I want to try all of them. Good breakfast ideas- can be made in advance.
