1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup vegetable oil or melted coconut oil

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon salt

1 cup chopped pecans

1/2 cup dried cranberries or raisins (optional)

Fresh fruit for topping (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, maple syrup, brown sugar, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract until well combined.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt together.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet ingredients, stirring until just combined. Be careful not to over-mix.

          Add Pecans and Fruit: Fold in the chopped pecans and dried cranberries or raisins if using.

            Scoop and Bake: Use a 1/4 cup measuring cup to scoop the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about 3/4 full.

              Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the tops are lightly golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the baked oatmeal cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm, with fresh fruit on top if desired.
