Orange Oatmeal Cups Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1 cup (100 g) oatmeal
- Juice of 2 oranges
- 3 eggs
- 1/3 cup (80 ml) milk of your choice
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- Salt, to taste
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Zest of 1 orange
Directions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 360°F (180°C).
- Prepare the Batter:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the oatmeal, orange juice, and milk. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the oats to absorb the liquid.
- Add the eggs, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, and orange zest. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated.
- Bake:
- Line a muffin tin with paper liners or grease it well.
- Pour the mixture evenly into the muffin cups.
- Bake in the preheated oven for approximately 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the oatmeal cups to cool slightly before removing them from the muffin tin.
Serving Suggestions:
- Serve warm with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup.
- Top with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a sprinkle of chopped nuts for added protein and crunch.
- Pair with fresh fruit for a balanced breakfast.
Cooking Tips:
- Use fresh oranges for the best flavor and nutrition.
- For a dairy-free version, use almond milk, oat milk, or any plant-based milk.
- You can add a handful of raisins or dried cranberries for extra sweetness and texture.
