Ingredient Notes
- Oranges: I used a large Navel Orange for this recipe and it worked perfectly to get both the fresh orange juice and zest that I needed to give these delicious orange flavor. If your oranges are smaller, you may want to buy two just in case.
- Chocolate Chips: I went with standard sized semi-sweet chocolate chips and I love the big bites of chocolate they offer throughout the oatmeal cup. You can use mini chocolate chips if that’s what you have on hand, but I do recommend the full size ones.
- Applesauce: Choose an unsweetened, unflavored variety.
- Oats: I always use Old Fashioned Oats in my baked oatmeal recipes and haven’t tried them with any other type. I always have a big container of these in my pantry for baked oatmeal!
- Alternative Sweeteners: I haven’t personally tried making these using a zero-calorie sweetener in place of the brown sugar, but I feel that it would work out just fine. Just make sure the sweetener you’re using has a 1:1 substitution ratio with brown sugar so that the sweetness level isn’t off.

Has anyone made these? They appear extremely dry from the photo. Would love to make these for my Mom.
I just made these and found them to be a typical texture for baked oatmeal. They are chewier than muffins, and more crumbly. The flavor was great.
That’s a lot of sugar.
I subbed the orange zest and orange juice with 1/4 pumpkin puree and added 1 tsp vanilla & 1 tsp pumpkin spice. Eased up on the apple sauce so they wouldn’t be excessively moist.
Love them! Thanks!
These were SO good! Just the right size, just the right amount of sweetness – the perfect bite! We are huge orange/chocolate people in our house and let me tell you, these rocked both flavors! So easy, with clean, healthy ingredients. They *do* tend to stick to the tins, even with spray, and had to be really carefully removed. Nextime, I might try liners, or my silicone baking mold. These will be on repeat!
