Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons maple syrup (or honey for a non-vegan option)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 cups unsweetened almond milk (or your preferred type of milk)

1 cup fresh raspberries (or frozen raspberries, thawed and drained)

1/4 cup almond butter (or any nut butter of your choice)

1/4 cup chopped nuts (such as sliced almonds or walnuts) for topping

Optional: 1 tablespoon chia seeds for added fiber

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lightly greasing it or lining it with parchment paper cups for easy removal.

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, salt, and chia seeds (if using). Stir the mixture until all the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the maple syrup, vanilla extract, and almond milk until smooth and well integrated.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl with the dry ingredients. Stir gently until just combined, taking care not to overmix to keep the cups light and fluffy.

          Fold in Raspberries: Carefully fold in the fresh raspberries, ensuring you don’t mash them too much as you want nice whole pieces throughout the mixture.

            Scoop into Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a portion scoop, evenly distribute the oat mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full to allow for rising.

              Add Toppings: Drizzle a small amount of almond butter over each oat cup for added richness and texture. Sprinkle chopped nuts on top for a delightful crunch.

                Bake: Place the muffin tin in your preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. The tops should turn golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean.

                  Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the oat cups to cool in the tin for approximately 5 minutes. Then, carefully transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                    Store: These delicious oat cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Simply reheat them for a quick breakfast or snack!
