Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Base
  • 2 cups Rolled Oats Substitute with certified gluten-free oats if needed.
  • 2 cups Apples Overripe apples can be used to reduce waste.
  • 2 large Eggs For a vegan option, substitute with flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 3 tablespoons water per egg).
  • 1/4 cup Honey or Maple Syrup Can be replaced with a sugar-free sweetener for low-carb diets.
  • 1 cup Milk (or Dairy-Free Alternative) Use almond, oat, or coconut milk for dairy-free versions.
For the Spice Blend
  • 1 teaspoon Cinnamon Adjust according to taste preferences.
  • 1/4 teaspoon Nutmeg A little goes a long way, so use sparingly.
For Optional Add-Ins
  • 1/2 cup Nuts/Dried Fruits Use any preferred nuts or dried fruits to customize your cups.

Equipment

  • Muffin tin
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by inserting muffin liners or greasing each cup.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine rolled oats, diced apples, eggs, milk, honey or maple syrup, and a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. Mix until fully incorporated.
  3. If including nuts or dried fruits, gently fold them into the mixture now.
  4. Evenly distribute the mixture among the prepared muffin tins, filling each cup to about three-quarters full.
  5. Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. Check for the tops turning golden brown and a toothpick inserted coming out clean.
  6. Once baked, cool the oatmeal cups for about 10 minutes in the muffin tin before transferring them to a wire rack.
