Peanut Butter and Honey Oatmeal Muffins Ingredients
- Plant-Based Milk – You can use any kind of milk you like. I’ve loved the Silk Soy Milk, which has 7 grams of protein per serving. Almond, coconut, oat, or even dairy milk will work.
- Honey – I usually use maple syrup in my baked oatmeal recipes, but for this one, I wanted to pair the classic flavors of peanut butter and honey, so I used honey. Pure maple syrup can be substituted.
- Coconut Sugar – You can use coconut, brown, or granulated sugar.
- Peanut Butter – I like to use creamy peanut butter made from peanuts alone, no added sugar. You can also use almond butter or sunflower seed butter.
- Old-Fashioned Oats – Oats are nutritious and a great way to start the day! Old-fashioned oats are the best for this recipe, but you can experiment using quick-cooking oats or steel-cut oats if you like.
- Flaxseed – Flaxseed adds nutrition and helps bind all the ingredients together, like an egg. You can replace the flax with an egg if you like.
- Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, Baking Soda, Salt
How To Make Peanut Butter Honey Baked Oatmeal Cups
- Add the milk, peanut butter, honey, coconut sugar, flax seed, and vanilla extract to a large bowl. Whisk everything together until combined, as much as possible.
- Add the oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix everything together until well combined. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes until the oats absorb some liquid.
- Grease a muffin pan well, and then use a 1/4 cup scoop to scoop the oatmeal batter into the muffin tin. When added to all 12 spots of the muffin tin, a heaping 1/4 cup should use up all the batter.
- Place oatmeal cups in the oven and bake for 30 – 35 minutes until firm to the touch and cooked through. Remove from the oven and allow to cool in the muffin pan for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. I like to enjoy them with a spoonful of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey on top!

Would steel cut oats work for this?

Hi Kaitlin, I haven’t made this recipe using steel cut oats so I can’t say for sure. I’m sure at least a version of this would work though, some ingredient amounts may need tweaking though. I’ll update if I do try it!
Audrey says

Hi – Are these muffins or baked oatmeal in a cup? I was just curious as they seem to have the same proportions as your other recipes labelled as baked oatmeal cups. Also, they don’t look like most muffins. not that i wanted a sweet heavy muffin but rather i had high hopes that this would be a nutritious muffin type of recipe. thanks for the clarification.
She Likes Food says
Hi Jacquie! You are correct in thinking these are just like my baked oatmeal cup recipe, I just have so many recipes already named “baked oatmeal cups” I wanted to change the title up, haha! I apologize for the confusion! I can work on a regular muffin with these flavors though!
jacquie says
thanks that would be great to have a low sugar muffin though i’m vegan so would go w/ the maple syrup option myself. Or maybe a vegan honey. or how about molassas? the endless options…..
