Ingredients
Scale
- 2 flax eggs
- 3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
- 1/3 cup maple syrup
- 2 cups unsweetened soy milk
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 3 cups old fashioned rolled oats
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350F. Spray muffin pan with oil or line with paper/reusable liners.
- Whisk together flax meal and warm water in a small bowl to prepare the flax eggs. Set aside until a gel-like consistency forms.

- Stir in the apple pieces.
- Fill each muffin cup fully, 1/3 – 1/2 cup of batter in each. You should have enough for 12 oatmeal cups.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until the tops are starting to brown and a toothpick comes out clean in the center.
- Let cool slightly, then run a butterknife around the edge of each oatmeal cup to loosen them from the pan.
- Enjoy immediately, or store in the fridge!
