As for these oatmeal cups – aren’t they the cutest?

They are super moist and include both strawberries and unsweetened applesauce for a fresh, nutritious (and colorful) touch. They come together in less than 45 minutes and only require ONE bowl. They’re inspired by my two other easy morning go-to muffin cups – Pumpkin Oatmeal Muffins and Banana Oatmeal Cups.

I hope you all love these muffins as much as my family does! They’re the perfect grab-n-go breakfast/snack option, and can be easily adapted with whatever fruit you have on hand. Blueberry version coming up next!

Strawberry Apple Oatmeal Cups

Scrumptious baked oatmeal cups infused with strawberries and apple goodness. Made with 9 ingredients, naturally sweetened, and perfect for making ahead of time!
Author: Kim

Ingredients

  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, gluten-free as needed
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 2 egg whites or ⅓ cup liquid egg whites from a carton
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk, any milk will work
  • 1/2 cup diced strawberries
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon Enjoy Life mini baking chips or any other favorite add-in, like nuts and/or shredded coconut

Instructions 

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray muffin pan with non-stick spray.
  • In a large bowl, stir together oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt.
  • Add applesauce, egg whites, vanilla extract and milk. Fold in strawberries and any other optional add-in, if using, to oat mixture and stir well to combine.
  • Fill muffin cups almost completely full with oatmeal mixture. The oatmeal cups will not rise. Add any extras to the top of each oatmeal cup, if desired.
  • Bake for about 30 minutes and until the center of each oatmeal cup is set. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before removing from muffin pan. If you don't allow these to cool before taking them out of the muffin pan, they will fall apart. I used a knife around the sides to make removal easier. After cooling, they will set well. Store in a covered container in the fridge for about a week.

Notes

*Nutritional info calculated using Bob's Red Mill Gluten Free rolled oats, carton egg whites and 1 tablespoon Enjoy Life Baking Chips.
*For my extras, I added 1 tablespoon Enjoy Life Baking Chips to the tops (only) of the muffin cups.
