A white round ramekin filled with a single layer of light brown baked apple crumble, topped with a sprinkle of cinnamon powder. A pink spoon is partly inside the ramekin, scooping into the soft, crumbly texture, with a few apple bits visible. The ramekin sits on a silver cooling rack placed over a white marbled surface. To the left, there is a whole red apple with a green leaf, and at the top right corner of the cooling rack, a red apple wedge rests next to the spoon.

Ingredients

1/2 cup Apple Sauce
1/2 cup Milk
1 cup Old Fashioned Rolled Oats
2 Large Eggs
2 tablespoons Maple Syrup
1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
1 pinch Salt
1 Apple

Instructions

Step 1: Add the apple sauce, milk, rolled oats, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon to a blender. Blend for 1 minute until the mixture is smooth.
Step 2: Divide the blended mixture evenly between 4 ramekins.
Step 3: Stir a quarter of the chopped apple into each ramekin.
Step 4: Microwave the ramekins for 3 to 5 minutes, or until the top is set and the edges start to pull away from the sides.
Step 5: Carefully remove the ramekins using a pot holder and let them cool for 2 to 3 minutes before serving. Optionally, sprinkle with extra cinnamon.

Tips & Variations

For extra texture, try adding chopped nuts or raisins to the mixture before microwaving.
Use almond milk or another plant-based milk for a dairy-free version.
If you prefer baked oats without a microwave, bake the ramekins at 350°F (175°C) for 20-25 minutes.

Storage

Store any leftover baked oats in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave for about 1 minute until warmed through. This recipe is best enjoyed fresh but keeps well for quick breakfasts.

FAQs

Can I use fresh apples instead of apple sauce?

Yes, you can substitute fresh grated or finely chopped apples for the apple sauce, though the texture may be slightly different and the oats might be less moist.

Is this recipe suitable for vegan diets?

The recipe contains eggs and dairy milk, but you can make it vegan by replacing eggs with flax eggs (1 tablespoon flaxseed meal + 2.5 tablespoons water per egg) and using a plant-based milk alternative.
