Made with a few pantry staples, this Cinnamon Apple Baked Oatmeal Cups comes together quickly and easily! Packed with old-fashioned oats and apple flavors, these cups are the best grab and go breakfast bites.

Use a large ice cream scoop or ¼ cup measuring cup to divide the mixture evenly between the 12 muffin cups.

Notes
el free to use a paper cupcake liner or a silicone version to make removing them easier.
It’s up to you if you want to peel the apples or not.
Feel free to add a handful of mini chocolate chips to the oatmeal cups for a sweeter treat.
Instant or quick cook oats won’t provide the same texture as old fashioned oatmeal. Be sure to use old fashion as it give the best texture for this recipes.
If you don’t have mape syrup, you can substitute an equal amount of honey instead.
Eggs are used as a binder for the recipe, but if you are allergic, you can replace by adding an extra 2/3 cups of apple sauce to the recipe.
I recommend not preparing this ahead of time because oatmeals absorb moisture and they will get dry by the time you bake them.
