Description

These Pina Colada Baked Oatmeal Cups are healthy, filling and so easy to throw together. They have a fresh fruity flavor that is perfect for summer and can be enjoyed for breakfast or as a snack. Make a big batch of these vegan oatmeal muffins on Sunday and have them on hand all week long for easy meals. I like to make mine extra special by adding some whipped cream and extra pineapple to the tops!

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 (13.66) can unsweetened coconut milk
  • 1/2 cup plain, unsweetened plant based milk
  • 1/3 cup pure maple syrup
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed
  • 1/3 cup coconut sugar, or brown sugar
  • 4 cups old fashioned oats
  • 1 tablespoon hemp hearts (optional)
  • 1 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shredded, or small diced, pineapple
  • 1/2 cup shredded coconut, sweetened or unsweetened depending on preference

Instructions

  1. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F and prepare a muffin tin, either with liners or grease it well with cooking spray.  To a large bowl, add the coconut milk and plant based milk.  Next, add the maple syrup, coconut sugar, flax seed, and vanilla extract. 
  2. Whisk everything together until combined and then add in the oats, hemp hearts, cinnamon, salt and baking powder.  Mix again and then let sit for about 10 minutes, until oats have soaked up some of the liquid.
  3. Add in the shredded pineapple and coconut and mix together well.  Use a 1/4 cup scoop to scoop the oatmeal batter into the muffin tin.  A heaping 1/4 cup should use up all the batter when added to all 12 spots of the muffin in.
  4. Top each muffin cup with a sprinkle of shredded coconut and 2-3 pieces of pineapple, if desired.  Place oatmeal cups in the oven and bake for 40-45 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.

Notes

You can use pineapple that is fresh, canned or frozen.  If using canned or frozen pineapple, use a dish towel to help you squeeze as much of the juice out as possible.
