Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it or lining with paper liners to prevent sticking.

- Fill Muffin Cups: Divide the oat mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each almost to the top.
- Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cups are set in the center and have a light golden brown color.
- Cool and Serve: Remove the oatmeal cups from the oven and allow them to cool for several minutes before removing from the tin and serving.
