2 cups rolled oats
1 cup almond milk (or any milk of choice)
1 cup diced fresh peaches
½ cup vanilla protein powder
¼ cup honey or maple syrup
1 tsp cinnamon
½ tsp nutmeg
¼ tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Ingredient Substitutions & Alternatives:
Vegan version: Swap honey for maple syrup and use plant-based protein powder.
Gluten-free option: Ensure the oats are certified gluten-free.
Add-ins: For extra crunch and nutrition, add nuts or seeds.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Prepare a muffin tin by lining it with paper liners or lightly greasing it.
Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the rolled oats, protein powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to mix evenly.
Combine Wet Ingredients: In another bowl, whisk together almond milk, honey (or maple syrup), and vanilla extract until fully combined.
Mix Wet and Dry Ingredients: Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined. Gently fold in diced peaches, being careful not to overmix.
Bake the Cups: Spoon the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about ¾ full. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and firm to the touch.
Cool & Serve: Let the oatmeal cups cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
Add-ins: Customize the oatmeal cups by adding chopped nuts, seeds, or dried fruit for extra texture and flavor.
Spices: Increase the amount of cinnamon and nutmeg, or try adding other warm spices like ginger or cloves for a different flavor profile.
Fruit: Swap peaches for berries, apples, or tropical fruits like mango for a fun twist.
