Ingredients

Main ingredients

1 cup canned pumpkin packed with fall flavor and moisture
1 cup milk helps make it nice and creamy
2 large eggs for binding everything together
2 tablespoons oil keeps it tender and helps browning
¼ cup maple syrup brings natural sweetness and depth
2 tablespoons light brown sugar adds just a touch more cozy flavor
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice that signature fall spice mix
¼ teaspoon salt balances the sweetness and spices real good
2 cups oats the heart of the oatmeal cups, chewy and filling
⅓ cup chopped walnuts or pecans, miniature chocolate chips, or dried cranberries optional for texture and flavor bursts

Instructions

First, preheat your oven to 3506F (1756C) and grease your muffin tin or line it with paper liners. This step is important cause it stops the cups from sticking.
In a large bowl, whisk together canned pumpkin, milk, eggs, oil, maple syrup, and brown sugar until smooth and no clumps remain.
Next, stir in the pumpkin pie spice and salt to make your kitchen cozy and inviting.
Add the oats to the wet mix and stir until combined, letting the oats soak up the flavors.
Fold in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or cranberries if using to jazz things up.
Spoon the mixture evenly into muffin cups, filling about 3/4 full for room to rise without spillover.
Bake at 3506F for 25 to 30 minutes until tops are set and a toothpick comes out clean. Let cool 5 to 10 minutes before removing from the tin.
Enjoy your baked pumpkin oatmeal cups warm or store as desired.

Notes

Optional: add chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or dried cranberries for extra texture and flavor. Store cooled oatmeal cups in airtight containers at room temperature for a few days, refrigerate for up to a week, or freeze for longer storage.
