Exactly two years ago…
Two years ago, I published what is now the #1 most viewed recipe on my entire blog.
To date, the post has gotten over 450,000 facebook likes and almost 130,000 repins, with more people writing in every day to say how much they love the recipe!
So today seemed like the perfect time to debut these portable trail mix breakfast cupcakes–chock full of wholesome ingredients, just like the famous originals. These cupcakes can easily go in a lunchbox, and their fiber will keep you full for hours!
And, just like the originals, they are egg-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and can be oil-free and sugar-free as well.
On-The-Go Breakfast Oatmeal Trail Mix Cupcakes
Makes 11-12
- 2.5 cups rolled oats
- 1 1/4 cup over-ripe mashed banana OR applesauce
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/16 tsp uncut stevia OR 2 1/2 tbsp pure maple syrup, agave, or honey
- 1/2 cup dried cranberries or cherries or raisins, chopped small
- 2 tbsp wheat germ or flaxmeal (or oat bran)
- 1 1/3 cup water (If using the liquid-sweetener option, scale water back by 3 tbsp)
- 1 1/2 tbsp oil OR more applesauce
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preheat your oven to 380 F, and line 11-12 cupcake tins. Combine all dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl, and stir very well. In a separate bowl, whisk together all liquid ingredients. Mix wet into dry, then pour the batter into the cupcake liners and bake 21 minutes. Broil 3 additional minutes, then let cool. If you let them cool overnight, they will no longer stick to the liners. Leftovers can be refrigerated or frozen and reheated.

These look soo delicious!! I love oatmeal+dried fruit 🙂
By the way Katie, why did you stop mentioning the ingrediënts in grams/ml? It would be a lot more convenient for us non-Americans ^^
I made these yesterday for myself and my daughter who is almost 2, and they are fantastic. She gobbled up two of them in a matter of half and hour which is a huge fete for her. Usually she picks at things and barely eats more than a bite. Thanks for the treat recipe, Katie. We’ll definitely be making these again 🙂
I made these a couple of days ago, they’re absolutely delicious! I love oatmeal so much and always look forward to trying new recipes, I’ve made many of your single serve baked oatmeals as well as ones served for a bunch of people. I love that this recipe makes so many and it freezes really well so my husband and I have an easy and quick breakfast in the morning!! Will definitely have to try the original recipe soon.
These are a huge hit with me and my 3 and 1 year old kids. My mornings just got easier and healthier, thank you!
Hi Katie,
I would like to try your oatmeal trail mix cupcakes but have a few questions. I feel as though I should know the answers to these questions, but here goes:
Are “rolled oats” the same as steel cut or old fashioned oats? What is “uncut” stevia? Is flaxmeal the same as flaxseed?
Hope to hear from you soon.
thanks,
J.
Yes, and yes, and here:

These look yummy! 🙂
So bummed. Just made these…broiling burned the tops….so much for a treat for my coworkers tomorrow….
Do you think it would be okay to use fresh blueberries instead of dried cranberries/cherries?
i was wondering if I could make this as mini version?
Sure!
