Ingredients
  

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)

1/2 cup Greek yogurt

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1 large egg

1 tsp vanilla extract

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/4 tsp salt

1 cup fresh strawberries, chopped

1/4 cup sliced almonds (optional, for topping)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a muffin tin with cooking spray or line with cupcake liners.

    Prepare Wet Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the milk, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

      Mix Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, and salt. Stir well to ensure the baking powder is evenly distributed.

        Combine Mixtures: Gradually add the dry oat mixture to the wet ingredients. Stir until everything is well combined, then gently fold in the chopped strawberries. Be careful not to overmix to keep the berries intact.

          Fill Muffin Tin: Using a spoon or a scoop, fill each muffin cup with the oatmeal mixture, evenly distributing it among the cups.

            Add Toppings (Optional): If desired, sprinkle sliced almonds on top for a delicious crunch.

              Bake: Place the muffin tin in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the oat cups are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

                Cool and Serve: Allow the baked cups to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Enjoy them warm or at room temperature!
