Description

These Chocolate Chip Baked Oatmeal Cups are a delicious and convenient breakfast option packed with wholesome oats, sweetened lightly with applesauce and sugar, and studded with melty chocolate chips. Perfect for meal prep, these baked cups are easy to make and ideal for a grab-and-go morning treat.

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups quick oats
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips (plus more for sprinkling on top)

Wet Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups milk
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare muffin pan: Preheat your oven to 350℉ (175℃). Lightly spray a muffin pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking and set it aside for later use.
  2. Mix ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the quick oats, eggs, milk, applesauce, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, salt, baking powder, and chocolate chips. Stir well until all ingredients are fully incorporated into a uniform batter.
  3. Fill muffin pan and bake: Evenly divide the batter into the prepared muffin cups. Optionally, sprinkle a few extra chocolate chips on top of each cup. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 28 to 30 minutes, or until the tops turn lightly golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  4. Cool before serving: Remove the baked oatmeal cups from the oven and allow them to cool completely in the pan. Cooling helps them set properly and makes them easier to remove.

Notes

  • Use quick oats for the best texture; rolled oats can be used but may yield a denser result.
  • Applesauce adds moisture and natural sweetness; you can substitute with mashed banana if desired.
  • To make these vegan, replace eggs with flax eggs and use a plant-based milk.
  • Store leftover oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Serve warm or cold, optionally topped with yogurt or fresh fruit.
