Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

2 medium apples, peeled, cored, and diced

1/2 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/4 cup chia seeds

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Additional apple slices and nuts for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, maple syrup, applesauce, and vanilla extract until well combined.

        Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Add the diced apples and chia seeds, mixing gently until everything is evenly incorporated. If you’re using nuts, fold them in at this stage.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Spoon the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top. Optional: Place a slice of apple and sprinkle additional nuts on top of each cup for added flavor and presentation.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the oatmeal cups are set and golden brown on top.

              Cool and Serve: Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy warm or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
