Instructions

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and spray the muffin pan wells with non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, mix oats, baking powder, cinnamon, brown sugar, applesauce, milk, eggs, butter (melted), and vanilla extract until well combined. Add blueberries and mix gently.
Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin pan, dividing it evenly between the 12 wells. Each cup should be about ¾ full.
Place in preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and set. Let cool in the muffin pan for about 5 minutes, then transfer to a baking rack to cool completely.
Serve your baked muffin cups topped with a drizzle of maple syrup and fresh fruit.

Notes

OATS. We like using old-fashioned oats, not instant, because of their texture, but you could likely use instant oats if that’s what you have in the pantry.
SUBSTITUTIONS. You can substitute melted coconut oil for melted butter. You can use any type of fruit, such as berries, peaches, or dried fruit.
PAN. We use a regular-size muffin pan and recommend using a non-stick spray or silicone baking cups in the muffin tin. Paper liners tend to get too soggy and do not work as well.
STORAGE. Baked Oatmeal keeps in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 5 days or in the freezer for about 3 months.
MAKE-AHEAD. The oatmeal cups can be made ahead and reheated in the microwave when ready to eat.
