Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 cup unsweetened applesauce

1/2 cup almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey, if preferred)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

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

Optional toppings: sliced almonds, coconut flakes, or a dollop of yogurt

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by greasing it lightly with cooking spray or lining it with cupcake liners for easy removal.

    Mix the Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Whisk these ingredients together thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of the dry ingredients.

      Combine the Wet Ingredients: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk together the unsweetened applesauce, almond milk, maple syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet mixture into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Stir gently until all the oats are fully moistened. Carefully fold in the raspberries, ensuring they remain intact and are not overly mashed.

          Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a scoop, evenly distribute the oat mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full for the best results.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The oat cups are ready when the edges have turned golden brown and the tops spring back to the touch.

              Cool & Serve: After baking, remove the muffin tin from the oven and allow the oat cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. These oat cups can be enjoyed warm or stored in an airtight container for easy breakfasts or snacks throughout the week.
