Healthy Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Cups: Easy Meal Prep

  • Author: Sarah Wasserman
  • Total Time: 37 minutes
  • Yield: 12 servings 1x

Description

These healthy baked pumpkin oatmeal cups are a quick and easy meal prep breakfast that tastes like fall. Made with simple ingredients like rolled oats, pumpkin puree, and maple syrup, they’re tender, spiced, and perfect for grabbing on busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups (180g) rolled oats
  • 1 cup (245g) pumpkin puree
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup (120ml) milk (any kind)
  • 1/3 cup (80ml) pure maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons melted coconut oil
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Optional mix-ins: chocolate chips, chopped pecans, walnuts, or dried cranberries (about 1/3 cup total)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a 12-cup muffin tin with liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together rolled oats, pumpkin pie spice, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
  3. In a separate large bowl, whisk pumpkin puree, eggs, milk, maple syrup, melted coconut oil, and vanilla extract until smooth.
  4. Pour dry ingredients into wet ingredients. Fold gently with a rubber spatula until just combined. If using mix-ins, fold them in now.
  5. Let the batter rest for 5 minutes to allow oats to absorb liquid.
  6. Divide batter evenly among 12 muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full. Sprinkle extra oats or cinnamon on top if desired.
  7. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until tops are set and lightly golden, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
  8. Cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

Notes

For best texture, use rolled oats, not quick or steel-cut oats. Letting the batter rest for 5 minutes before baking improves texture. These taste even better on day two. Freeze for up to 3 months.
