Directions:

Oatmeal Cups

  1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make sure to grease a muffin pan with butter or use nonstick spray (for easy removal of the baked oatmeal cups later
  2. Combine all the ingredients for the oatmeal cups in a large bowl, except for the apples and walnuts.  Oatmeal cup ingredients include plain kefir, eggs, maple syrup, unsweetened applesauce, whole rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla extract, and salt.
  3. Whisk the oatmeal mixture until the mixture is fully combined and the batter is smooth. Then, fold in the apples and walnuts using a spatula. Last, transfer the batter to the prepared muffin pan, filling each well to the top.
  4. Bake oatmeal cups for 30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the tops appear. Keep an eye on your oatmeal cups, as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven.
  5. Remove oatmeal cups from the oven and cool for five minutes in the muffin pan before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. This step helps them set perfectly before transferring them and helps the oatmeal cups maintain their shape.

Maple Glaze

  1. While oatmeal cups are cooling, whisk together maple glaze ingredients until completely smooth. In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, powdered sugar, and maple syrup. Once your oatmeal cups are ready, drizzle glaze over your baked cinnamon apple oatmeal muffin cups before serving for extra sweetness
  2. Leftover oatmeal cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week. They make a perfect grab-and-go oatmeal cup for breakfast!
