Instructions

  • Prepare Wet Ingredients:
    Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with silicone liners. In a large bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, coconut sugar, flax seed, and vanilla extract. Let sit for 5 minutes to thicken slightly.

  • Mix Dry Ingredients:
    Add oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt to the wet mixture. Stir until well combined. Let the mixture sit for 10–15 minutes to thicken.

  • Incorporate Flavors:
    Stir in your chosen flavor variation ingredients.

  • Fill and Bake:
    Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to evenly scoop the batter into the prepared muffin tin. Bake for 20–30 minutes, until the tops are set and lightly golden.

 

  • Cool and Store:
    Let the oatmeal cups cool in the muffin tin for 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack. Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 6 months.

Notes

  • Mix and match flavors to make a variety batch in one baking session.

  • Add a drizzle of nut butter or a sprinkle of seeds before baking for extra nutrition.

 

  • Perfect for gluten-free diets if certified gluten-free oats are used.
