Methods with @Scheduled annotation not working in Spring Boot app

tl;dr: Can you think of any case I could look for where @Scheduled tasks are not executed in a Spring Boot app?

I implemented the example and it worked just fine, however, in a more complex Spring Boot app I am working on I can't get the @Scheduled methods to run.

My main class looks like this:

package com.mypackage.myapp;

import org.springframework.boot.SpringApplication;
import org.springframework.boot.autoconfigure.SpringBootApplication;
import org.springframework.scheduling.annotation.EnableScheduling;
import org.springframework.security.config.annotation.web.configuration.EnableWebSecurity;

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableWebSecurity
@EnableScheduling
public class MyApp {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(MyApp.class);
    }
}

and the component in which the scheduled app lives looks like this:

(...)

@Component
public class MyComponent {
    private static final Logger logger = LoggerFactory.getLogger(MyComponent.class);

    (...)

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 5000)
    public void myScheduledTask() {
        logger.info("Executing scheduled task");

    (...)  
    }
}

The whole application is obviously more complex, but this is essentially it. Unfortunately, "Executing scheduled task" appears no where in the logs, also if I debug the breakpoint is never reached.

As I said, the minimal example works for me, however in my app it isn't. Can you think of any case I could check for where @Scheduled tasks are not executed? For example, can the configuration be overruled by anything? Can anything interfere?

I am using version 1.5.1.RELEASE.
