Ingredients
  

Dry Ingredients
  • 2 cups rolled oats Use old-fashioned oats for the best texture.
  • 1 tsp baking powder This will give your oatmeal cups the perfect rise.
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon A must-have spice for that warm fall flavor.
  • 1/4 tsp nutmeg Adds depth and a cozy aroma.
  • 1/4 tsp salt Enhances all the flavors beautifully.
Wet Ingredients
  • 1 cup pumpkin puree Use canned organic pumpkin or homemade.
  • 2 large eggs They help bind the ingredients together.
  • 1/4 cup honey or maple syrup Choose based on your taste preference.
  • 1/4 cup almond milk Feel free to swap with any milk type.
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract Adds a lovely sweetness and fragrance.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans For added crunch—great if you like nuts!

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the dry ingredients: rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the wet ingredients: pumpkin puree, eggs, honey or maple syrup, almond milk, and vanilla extract.
  4. Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until fully incorporated. If adding pecans, fold them in gently.
  5. Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tin, filling each cup almost to the top.
Baking
  1. Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cups are set and lightly golden on top. Check for doneness with a toothpick.
  2. Let the cups cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
