Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
These breakfast cups are a delicious and convenient way to start your day. They combine the warmth of baked oats with the sweetness of apples, making them both nutritious and comforting. Plus, they are easy to prepare ahead of time and perfect for busy mornings.
Directions
Heat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin well or pop in some paper liners to keep things from sticking. In a big bowl, mix together the oats, oat flour, cinnamon, allspice, baking soda, and salt. Then add the apples, yogurt, eggs, brown sugar, melted butter, and vanilla extract. Stir everything until it’s combined, and gently fold in the walnuts. Spoon the batter evenly into your prepared muffin cups. Bake for about 25 minutes, or until a toothpick poked into the center comes out clean. Let them cool a bit before enjoying!
