Peanut Butter and Honey Oatmeal Muffins Ingredients
- Plant Based Milk – You can use any kind of milk you like. I’ve been loving the Silk Soy Milk that has 7 grams of protein per serving. Almond milk, coconut milk, oat milk 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 though.
- Coconut Sugar – You can use coconut sugar, brown sugar or even granulated sugar.
- Peanut Butter – I like to use a creamy peanut butter that is only made with peanuts, 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, as well as helping to bind all the ingredients together, like an egg would. You can repace the flax with an egg, if you like.
- Vanilla Extract, Cinnamon, Baking Soda, Salt
How To Make Peanut Butter Honey Baked Oatmeal Cups
- To a large bowl, add the milk, peanut butter, honey, coconut sugar, flax seed and vanilla extract Whisk everything together until combined, as much as you can.
- Add in the oats, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix everything together until well combined. Let the batter sit for about 10 minutes, until oats have absorbed some of the liquid.
- Grease a muffin pan well and then 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.
- 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 with a spoonful of peanut butter and a drizzle of honey on top!

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.

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…..
