BREAKFAST OATMEAL CUPCAKES RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Breakfast Oatmeal Cupcakes Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by blum099

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 cups rolled oats
2 1/2 cups over-ripe mashed banana, measured after mashing
1 teaspoon salt
5 NuNaturals stevia packets (or omit and use 5 tablespoons of any liquid sweetener instead)
2/3 cup mini chocolate chips, optional
2 2/3 cups water (If using the liquid-sweetener option, scale water back to 1 1/3 cups)
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon oil (I really like coconut, but vegetable oil will also work. For lower-fat substitution notes, see nutrition link below.)
2 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
Optional add-ins: cinnamon, shredded coconut, chopped walnuts, ground flax or wheat germ, raisins or other dried fruit, etc.

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 380 F, and line 24-25 cupcake tins. In a large mixing bowl, combine all dry ingredients and stir very well. In a separate bowl, combine and stir all wet ingredients (including banana). Mix wet into dry, then pour into the cupcake liners and bake 21 minutes. I also like to then broil for 1-2 minutes, but it's optional. These oatmeal cupcakes can be eaten right away, or they can be frozen and reheated for an instant breakfast on a busy day. Substitution Notes: For the banana: Applesauce will work, but you might want to add a little extra sweetener (and decrease the water according to how much extra liquid sweetener you add). For the rolled oats: I haven't tried quick oats, nor have I tried steel-cut in this recipe. So I have no idea how either would work. For the oil: I haven't tried subbing more banana for the oil. I am sure you can do it, and it will be fine texture-wise. No idea about the taste, though. Protein Powder? Perhaps you could add some protein powder to these (or replace some of the oats with protein powder). 88 calories WW Points (new system): 2 points per cupcake

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 and 1/2 cups (360ml) milk (dairy or nondairy)
2 large eggs*
1/2 cup (120ml) pure maple syrup*
1/2 cup (120g) unsweetened applesauce
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned whole oats*
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 heaping cup peeled chopped apple*
optional: 1/2 cup (50g) chopped walnuts or pecans
optional: coarse sugar for topping

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray. If using muffin liners, spray them with nonstick spray. The oatmeal cups stick to the liners a bit regardless, so I recommend skipping them.
  • Whisk all of the ingredients together, except for the apples (and nuts and coarse sugar), in 1 large bowl. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the apples and nuts (if using). Batter will be a little liquid-y. Spoon batter evenly into muffin cups, making sure both the oats/apples and liquid are in each. Fill all the way to the top. See photo above. If desired, sprinkle the tops with coarse sugar.
  • Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and top appears set. If the tops appear to brown very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top.
  • Cool for 5 minutes before serving. Cover leftover oatmeal cups tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas: Overripe bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the cupcakes, reducing the need for added sugar.
  • Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Line the muffin tins: Use paper liners or grease the tins to prevent the cupcakes from sticking.
  • Bake until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This ensures that the cupcakes are cooked through.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting: This helps the frosting to set properly.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cupcakes are a delicious and healthy breakfast treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of toppings, such as nuts, seeds, or fruit. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast or a healthier alternative to traditional cupcakes, these oatmeal cupcakes are a great option.
