Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup milk of choice (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 cup pure maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)

1/4 cup melted coconut oil (or unsalted butter)

2 large eggs

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup chopped pecans (plus extra for topping)

1/2 cup dried fruit (e.g., cranberries or raisins, optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.

    Prepare the Wet Mixture: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, melted coconut oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Mix well.

        Mix Ingredients: Gradually add the dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. Fold in the chopped pecans and dried fruit if using.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Spoon the oat mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top. Optionally, sprinkle extra chopped pecans on top for added crunch.

            Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Let the oatmeal cups cool in the tin for about 10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one week.
