Vegan Baked Pumpkin Oatmeal Cups

September 2, 2014 by Sophie 1 Comment

GUESS WHAT?!

IMG_1742It’s somehow alreadyyyy September (I’m sure you knew that). September means that Fall is basically here. And Fall is super fun for many reasons (though I’ve only got one on the brain at the moment).

While in Northern California it is still 90 degrees out and in full summer mode in terms of weather (so I guess no boots or scarves quite yet), September means PUMPKIN is officially welcome to join in the kitchen fun. I am one of those folks who goes crazy for pumpkin in baked goods. Pumpkin pie is my favorite food of all time. Period.

IMG_1730Now that I’m in the swing of things again with culinary school and work, I thought it’d be a good idea to make a quick grab ‘n go breakfast for the days I have class earlier. These little oatmeal cups are super tasty, filling, and they’re vegan! I have actually been requested to make some vegan things on the blog, and I wanted to start off with something easy and healthy.

IMG_1761These guys also happen to technically be gluten free…but as an avid baker, gluten is one of my best friends. Lemme just say, I looooove me some gluten. Gluten is the backbone of breads, cakes, crusts etc. This wonderful protein compound is responsible for almost everything magical that I love in the baking world.

I respect those who truly have health problems when they eat foods with gluten (namely people with celiac disease… which happens to be less than 2 percent of the U.S. population, and those with legit sensitivities to gluten). It’s those who do not actually know what gluten is, and avoid it only because their yoga teachers or friends tell them it will make them fat, that rub me the wrong way.

IMG_1752Let’s leave gluten alone. Let’s allow gluten to do its magic without all the unnecessary scrutiny and accusations. And most importantly, let’s do our research before starting a fad diet. There’s a lot of information out there now about the pros and cons of gluten.

IMG_1766Okay, sorry. End of gluten rant. <Though if you’re looking for some gluten free humor, ya gotta check out this Pedestrian Question on Jimmy Kimmel. So on point.>

Back to the oats. So this recipe can definitely be adapted to leave out the pumpkin (though, whyyy would you do that?!). You can change up the add-ins for whatever you have on hand or prefer. Make each cup different if you feel like having a variety (put different add-ins in each cup).

IMG_1750It’s also a great idea to make a bunch because you can freeze the baked oatmeal cups and then just have them ready for quick last minute breakfasts or snacks. If you like oatmeal, give these guys a go.

Ingredients: (Adapted from Hungry Healthy Girl)
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 teaspoons pumpkin spice
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
1 cup pumpkin puree (or mashed banana, or applesauce)
1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flax seed plus 3 tablespoons water)
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk
1/4 cup toasted chopped pecans (optional)
1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees, and line a muffin tin with paper liners (or spray with cooking spray). In a medium mixing bowl, combine the pumpkin, flax egg, maple syrup, vanilla and almond milk. Whisk together until smooth.

Then mix in the spices, baking powder, and add-ins. Finally add the oats and mix until everything is combined. Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes before you fill your muffin tin.

Fill the cups all the way as they will not rise when baking. Bake for 30-35 minutes until completely set. Let cool for about 10 minutes before serving, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Can be refrigerated for about a week, or frozen for a few months. Just pop them in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before you eat them!

IMG_1756Super easy. Very tasty. Adaptable, so you won’t get sick of them. And of course they’re perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. I eat oatmeal for breakfast pretty often, and I usually have to prepare it the night before or else I end up running late to class.

IMG_1770These little pre-made oat cups are perfect because you can make the whole week’s worth of breakfasts on Sunday and be good for the week. Plus, they’re pumpkin. And ummm…pumpkin, you complete me.

FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdou FLOUR + FLOWERS! 🤍 Chocolate orange rye sourdough all painted up. 🌼🍫🍊 I used some fresh milled rye flour in this loaf, along with extra dark cocoa powder, fresh orange zest, honey and chocolate chunks. 🤤

I’m not the best at painting, but I’ve been wanting to try something like this since I saw @sleepingmakesmehungry beautiful floral loaves a while back, and @lovealldesignco more recently. 🎨🌸🤍

I used food dye gel mixed with a little water as the paint, scored with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame & baked in my @challengerbreadware pan as always. 🌾🍫🍞

I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to sha I ❤️ blood orange season! 🍊 I wanted to share this small batch marmalade recipe I make each year. The perfect accompaniment to toast with salted butter. Toast is truly one of my favorite foods, and I love making jams & preserves to enjoy with fresh bread. 🍊🧈🍞 Also, this beautiful wood serving board is by my very talented brother @jeffremer! 🤍

Small Batch Blood Orange Marmalade: (Makes 1 pint)

300g blood oranges (2-3 oranges)
1/2 lemon
300g water
250g granulated sugar

Peel the oranges and 1/2 lemon, and slice the rind into thin strips and pieces. Remove the seeds from the fruit, slice into smaller chunks and set aside.

Combine the peels and water in a stainless steel pot over medium heat. Bring to a boil, lower the heat to a simmer and cover the pot. Simmer for 20-30 minutes until the peels are tender. You may need to add more water as necessary.

Add the sugar and the fruit to the pot and cook over high heat, stirring occasionally. Boil for 6-8 minutes until the syrup thickens. 

Transfer to a pint jar and allow to cool uncovered before covering and storing in the fridge.

Back with one of my go-to favorite sourdough desig Back with one of my go-to favorite sourdough designs. A quilty wheat stalk pattern for the #mywheatstalk challenge by @artbreadlove. 🌾🤍 I love this quilty pattern because it’s such a fun one to score, and even with little variations it always bakes up beautifully. 

Got to use my new @thebreadmat for this bake (these are truly awesome @rosehillsourdough 👍🏻). Scored as always with my @wiremonkeyshop Poco lame, and baked in my @challengerbreadware pan. Using the @sourly 5 minute score. 🤍🌾

Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to d Fresh start for the new year, felt only right to do a single slash loaf. I’m always tempted to score a more complex design, but I tend to keep it simple with slashing inclusion loaves. 🌾🍞

This was a delicious cranberry & roasted chestnut bread I made with some beautiful flours from @bartonspringsmill in atx. 🤍🌾 Used their purple straw wheat & rouge de Bordeaux. Slathered a slice in some softened butter with flaky sea salt for a go-to snack. Also had to flag the two quick 🐈🐈‍⬛ cameos!
