Process
Preheat oven to 350°F.
Make the flax eggs by combining 2 TBS flax meal and 5 TBS water in a small bowl. Whisk and set aside for a few minutes to thicken. Generously grease a muffin pan with coconut oil (or baking spray if you prefer).
Next, whisk all of the ingredients (except for the apples) together in a large bowl. Using a spoon or rubber spatula, fold in the apples. The batter will be a little runny.
Spoon batter evenly into muffin tin, filling each cup all the way to the top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned and the top appears set. If the tops appear to brown very quickly, tent a piece of aluminum foil on top.
Cool for 5 minutes before serving.
Cover leftover oatmeal cups tightly and refrigerate for up to 1 week. Reheat on the stove with a quick steam sauté.
