Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey for non-vegan option)

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Pinch of salt

Optional toppings: chopped nuts, dried fruits, or more cinnamon for garnish

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt. Stir until well mixed.

      Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, almond butter, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix gently until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.

          Add Apples: Fold in the diced apples, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the oat mixture.

            Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Remove the oat cups from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. These can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

                  Add Toppings: Serve with your favorite toppings like chopped nuts, a drizzle of almond butter, dried fruits, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for an extra touch of flavor!
