Welcome to The Freshman Cook!
Did you know that this month is National Oatmeal Month? It is, which makes this a fun time to share recipes made with oatmeal!
I thought it would be fun to bake a treat that I haven't made, which is how I came up with these Chocolate Oatmeal Cups! I have made oatmeal cookies many times over many years, and I am hoping these Chocolate Oatmeal Cups will become a fun and tasty addition to your baking treats collection!
These Oatmeal Cups can be made in stages, which really helps when you have a busy day ahead, but you want to make these yummy oatmeal treats! When I made these, I baked the oatmeal cups one day, and finished them the next day, when I melted chocolate and added it to the cups! No stress~lots of fun flavor that you and your friends and family will love!
Chocolate Oatmeal Cups

3/4 cup firmly packed Brown Sugar1/2 cup Granulated Sugar1 large Egg1 teaspoon Vanilla1 1/2 cup All Purpose Flour1 teaspoon Baking Soda1 teaspoon Ground Cinnamon1/2 teaspoon Salt1/4 teaspoon Ground Nutmeg3 cups Quaker Oats, quick or old fashioned, uncookedMilk Chocolate Bar (approx. 6-8 ounces)Topping for cups
These oatmeal cups were made in an air fryer, but of course they can be baked in your oven. Using a tablespoon, scoop the dough into a mini muffin pan. Bake in the air fryer at 350 degrees, for 6-7 minutes. Your air fryer might take a few minutes longer or shortener. If you are baking in the oven, bake at 350 degrees, for 8-10 minutes. Remove from the oven or air fryer. Cool for 1 minute, then remove from pan.
