Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

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

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup

1/4 cup almond butter (or peanut butter)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds), optional

Fresh mint leaves for garnish, optional

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Use a whisk or spoon to mix well, ensuring the dry ingredients are uniformly distributed.

      Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together the almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), almond butter, and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and all the ingredients are fully blended.

        Combine Mixtures: Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl containing the dry ingredients. Gently stir with a spatula until just combined, being careful not to overmix. Incorporate the diced strawberries and the chopped nuts (if using) into the mixture, folding them in with care.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or scoop, evenly distribute the mixture into the muffin tin cups, filling each cup about 3/4 full. For an extra touch, place a slice of strawberry atop each cup.

            Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes. They're done when the edges are golden brown, and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

              Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the oat cups from the oven and let them cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then transfer them to a wire rack to cool slightly. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish if desired.

                Enjoy your delicious Sweet Strawberry Oat Cups as a delightful breakfast, snack, or even a light dessert!
