Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Base
  • 2 cups Old-fashioned Whole Oats Provides hearty texture and structure; avoid quick or steel-cut oats for the best results.
  • 1 cup Milk (or non-dairy milk) Adds moisture; feel free to use your favorite type.
  • 2 large Eggs Binds the mixture together; use flax eggs as a vegan alternative if desired.
For the Sweetness
  • 2 cups Apples Cut into small, uniform pieces (~1/4 inch) to avoid sinking.
  • 1/3 cup Maple Syrup Adds a warm sweetness; honey or agave syrup can be substitutions.
  • 2 tablespoons Coarse Sugar Optional topping for extra crunch and sweetness during baking.
For Flavoring
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adjust the amount according to your taste preference.
For Crunch
  • 1/2 cup Nuts (e.g., walnuts, pecans) Provides a delightful crunch; swap for seeds for a nut-free version.

Equipment

  • Muffin Pan
  • Mixing bowl

Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (177°C).
  2. Generously spray a muffin pan with nonstick spray, ensuring every cup is well-coated.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the old-fashioned oats, milk, eggs, maple syrup, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Gently fold the chopped apples and nuts into the batter using a spatula.
  5. Spoon the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full.
  6. If desired, sprinkle coarse sugar on top of each filled muffin cup.
  7. Place the muffin pan in your preheated oven and bake for 28-30 minutes, until edges are lightly browned.
  8. Once baked, remove the muffin pan from the oven and let the oatmeal cups cool in the pan for 5-10 minutes.
