Ingredients
  

2 cups rolled oats

2 cups almond milk (or any milk of choice)

1 cup peeled and diced apples (preferably Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)

1/2 cup applesauce (unsweetened)

1/3 cup brown sugar, packed

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 tsp ground cinnamon

1/2 tsp nutmeg

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1/2 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

1/3 cup caramel sauce (plus more for drizzling)

Optional toppings: additional diced apples, whipped cream, or yogurt

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin or line it with paper liners.

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, almond milk, applesauce, diced apples, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, baking powder, and salt. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly mixed.

      Fold in the chopped walnuts (if using) and half of the caramel sauce into the mixture, ensuring everything is well incorporated.

        Pour the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full.

          Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick comes out clean.

            Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for 10 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

              Serve warm, drizzling additional caramel sauce over the top and optionally adding diced apples, whipped cream, or yogurt as toppings.

                Enjoy your delightful Caramel Apple Baked Oatmeal Cups as a nutritious breakfast or a sweet snack!
