Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

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

1 medium apple, peeled and diced (preferably a sweet variety like Honeycrisp)

1 cup all-purpose flour (you can substitute with whole wheat flour for a healthier option)

1/2 cup brown sugar (packed)

1/4 cup maple syrup (or honey)

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/3 cup vegetable oil (or melted coconut oil)

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

Instructions
 

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

    Mix Oats and Milk: In a medium bowl, combine the rolled oats and almond milk. Let this mixture sit for about 10 minutes, allowing the oats to absorb some of the liquid.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, brown sugar, baking powder, baking soda, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.

        Blend Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, mix the wet ingredients: add the maple syrup, vegetable oil, and vanilla extract to the soaked oats and stir until everything is evenly blended.

          Combine All Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry mixture and stir until just combined. Be careful not to overmix; a few lumps are okay. Gently fold in the diced apple and nuts (if using) until evenly distributed.

            Fill Muffin Tins: Spoon the batter into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 2/3 full. Optionally, you can sprinkle some additional oats or chopped nuts on top for added texture.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of a muffin comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the muffins from the oven and allow them to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes. Then, transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely. Serve warm or at room temperature, perfect for breakfast or a snack!
