Ingredients

  • ¼ cup reduced-fat cream cheese, at room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon strawberry jam

  • 3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 ¼ cups low-fat milk

  • cup packed brown sugar

  • ¼ cup unsweetened applesauce

  • 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

  • 1 teaspoon baking powder

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ¾ cup chopped fresh or frozen strawberries, divided

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with cooking spray.

  2. Whisk cream cheese and jam together in a small bowl.

  3. Combine oats, milk, brown sugar, applesauce, eggs, baking powder, vanilla and salt in a large bowl. Fold in 1/2 cup strawberries. Fill each of the prepared muffin cups with 2 to 3 tablespoons batter, then top each with a dollop of strawberry cream cheese and some of the remaining 1/4 cup strawberries. Cover with the remaining batter and press slightly to compact. Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes. Cool in the pan for 10 minutes. Run a knife around the edges of the muffin cups to release the oatmeal cakes, then turn out onto a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
