Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 large apples, peeled, cored, and diced (preferably honeycrisp or Fuji)

1/4 cup brown sugar or maple syrup

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1/4 cup Greek yogurt (or dairy-free yogurt)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Pinch of salt

Fresh apple slices and extra cinnamon for topping

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or olive oil.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, brown sugar (or maple syrup), ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to combine all the dry ingredients.

      Prepare Apples: In a separate bowl, toss the diced apples with a teaspoon of cinnamon. This enhances their flavor and keeps them nice and sweet.

        Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, Greek yogurt, and vanilla extract until fully combined and smooth.

          Mix Everything Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and stir until well combined. Gently fold in the cinnamon-coated apples and nuts (if using).

            Fill Muffin Tin: Using a ladle or spoon, carefully fill each muffin cup with the oat mixture. Leave a little space at the top for expansion while baking.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the oat cups are set and golden brown on the edges.

                Cool & Serve: Once done, remove the oat cups from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                  Garnish: Top with fresh apple slices, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, if desired.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Enjoy these Sweet Apple Cinnamon Oat Cups as a breakfast treat or snack!
