These cinnamon apple oatmeal bites are a great handheld breakfast or snack. They store well and are a perfect mess-free way of serving oats for an energy boost or to fill hungry after school tummies!

You’ll Need:

  • 1 ½ cups old fashioned rolled oats

  • ⅔ cup milk

  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 3 tbsp maple syrup

  • 1 egg

  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon

  • ½ tsp baking powder

  • 1 small apple

To Make:

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

  2. Mix the dry ingredients (rolled oats, cinnamon, and baking powder) in a bowl until combined. Set aside.

  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, applesauce, maple syrup, and egg until combined. 

  4. Add in the dry ingredients and mix to combine. Let the oats soak up the wet ingredients for a few minutes as you prepare the apple.

  5. Peel and chop the apple into small pieces. Add the apples to the mixture and fold them in to combine.

  6. Spoon in a tablespoon of batter into a mini muffin pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes, or until the oats are firm and slightly golden. 

  7. Let them cool completely before removing them from the pan. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or freeze in a freezer-safe bag for up to 3 months. To reheat, simply microwave the muffins for 20-30 seconds, or until warmed through!
