Ingredients:
Wet Ingredients:
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk (dairy or plant-based)
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Maple syrup or honey
Dry Ingredients:
- 2 cups Rolled oats (gluten-free if needed)
- 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon Baking powder
- ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
Add-ins:
- ½ cup Fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries)
- ¼ cup Chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, or pecans) (optional)
- ¼ cup Chocolate chips (optional)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with paper liners for easy removal.
Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and maple syrup (or honey).
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt. Stir to mix evenly.
Add Wet Ingredients to Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until combined. Add your berries, nuts, and/or chocolate chips (if using) and gently fold them in.
Fill Muffin Tin: Evenly distribute the oatmeal mixture into the muffin cups, filling each about ¾ full. Press down gently to make sure the oats settle into the cup.
Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the oatmeal cups are golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted comes out clean.
Cool and Serve: Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store in an airtight container.
