Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 large apples, peeled and diced (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup or honey

1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1 teaspoon baking powder

A pinch of salt

1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) for added crunch (optional)

Extra apple slices for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin (makes about 12 cups) or line it with paper liners.

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

      In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until smooth.

        Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, then fold in the diced apples and nuts, if using. Stir gently until all ingredients are combined.

          Spoon the mixture evenly into the muffin cups, filling them about 3/4 full. If desired, top each cup with a slice of apple for an appealing finish.

            Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Remove from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack.

                Serve warm or at room temperature. These oatmeal cups can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week or frozen for later enjoyment.
