Key Ingredients:

• Salt: Use a little kosher salt or sea salt 
• Milk: I like to use whole milk in this recipe, but use your milk of choice
• Extract: Add vanilla extract to pair with the fresh fruit flavor of these healthy muffins

• Sweetener: A bit of pure maple syrup is a great way to sweeten these healthy baked oatmeal cups without using ton of sugar
