Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

1 ½ cups almond milk (or any milk of your choice)

1 ripe banana, thoroughly mashed

1/4 cup honey or maple syrup (adjust to your preferred sweetness level)

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, hulled and diced

1/4 cup chopped nuts (optional, such as walnuts or almonds for added crunch)

1/4 cup shredded coconut (optional for a tropical flair)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or a thin layer of oil to prevent sticking.

    Mix Wet Ingredients: In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the almond milk, mashed banana, honey (or maple syrup), and pure vanilla extract. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated.

      Combine Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, mix together the rolled oats, ground cinnamon, and fine sea salt. Gradually stir this dry mixture into the wet ingredients, mixing until everything is combined and no dry oats remain.

        Fold in Strawberries: Carefully fold in the diced strawberries, making sure they are evenly dispersed throughout the mixture without breaking them up too much.

          Incorporate Optional Ingredients: If desired, add the chopped nuts and shredded coconut at this point, stirring gently to incorporate these elements for extra texture and flavor.

            Fill the Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or ice cream scoop, fill each muffin cup with the oat mixture, aiming to fill them about 3/4 full to allow for rising as they bake.

              Bake: Transfer the muffin tin to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. The oat cups are ready when their tops turn golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Transfer: Once baked, let the oat cups cool in the muffin tin for about 10 minutes. Then, gently transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely and firm up.

                  Serve and Store: Enjoy your sweet strawberry oat cups warm, or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. These delightful treats make an excellent choice for breakfast on-the-go or a healthy afternoon snack!
