Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (or your favorite nut butter)

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup brown sugar (lightly packed)

1/4 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven: Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with paper liners or spray with non-stick cooking spray for easy removal.

    Mix the wet ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, honey (or maple syrup), milk, and vanilla extract. Whisk them together until smooth and well blended.

      Combine the dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, brown sugar, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until the dry ingredients are nicely combined.

        Combine both mixtures: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the bowl with the wet mixture. Stir until just combined, ensuring all oats are evenly coated. If you’re using chocolate chips, fold them in at this point.

          Fill the muffin tin: Scoop the mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about three-quarters full. You can use a cookie scoop or a spoon for this.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for about 15-18 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

              Cool Down: Once baked, remove the oat cups from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.

                Enjoy: Serve them warm or at room temperature; they make a perfect snack or breakfast option! Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to a week.
