Ingredients
  

For the Oatmeal Base
  • 2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats provides a hearty, chewy texture
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based) keeps the cups moist and tender
  • 2 large eggs bind everything together
  • 1/2 cup brown sugar adds natural sweetness
  • 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon the key spice for flavor
For the Apples & Flavor
  • 2 cups fresh apple chunks use crisp apples like Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract elevates the overall flavor
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder helps the oatmeal cups rise
Optional Add-ins
  • 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans) adds crunch and healthy fats
  • 1/2 cup raisins or dried cranberries for bursts of chewy sweetness

Equipment

  • Muffin tin

Method
 

Directions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F and grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line with paper liners.
  2. Combine oats, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and baking powder in a large bowl.
  3. In another bowl, whisk milk, eggs, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly frothy.
  4. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and stir gently, then fold in apple chunks.
  5. Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling almost to the top.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes until edges are golden brown and centers are set.
  7. Let the cups rest in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
