Under the English name of oatmeal cupsthis format of take the typical breakfast oatmeal to the oven or snack is a very convenient way to have a nutritious snack ready to take and take away in advance, which also freezes without problems and will save us a lot of worries for days.
Normal muffin or cupcake tins or trays can be used, but are more practical the mini types to turn these cupcakes into a bite snack more versatile when it comes to taking it when we need it. On this occasion we have sweetened them slightly with a little homemade date cream, which also helps to give more consistency, but you can omit or substitute by a sweetener such as erythritol, applesauce or mashed ripe banana.
Preheat the oven to 175ºC with heat up and down, and grease one or two mini muffin trays, or normal size (they will come out less), or use non-stick capsules also lightly greased with oil; the atomizer spray is very practical for this.
Beat the eggs in a bowl with manual rods, add the milk or vegetable drink, the tahini or nut butter, the yogurt and the syrup or puree of ripe fruit. Add the rest of the ingredients, reserving chopped nuts to crown, mixing until you have a homogeneous mass.
Divide the dough into the molds, top with nuts or more seeds to taste, and bake for a few 15-20 minutesdepending on the mold and size, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Expect let them cool down out of the oven before unmolding by running a knife around each unit. If they are going to be frozen, wait until they are completely cold and use a zip lock bag.
