Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly grease a 12-cup muffin tin or line it with muffin liners.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, baking powder, ground cinnamon, and salt. Stir well to distribute the dry ingredients evenly.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, maple syrup, vanilla extract, and unsweetened applesauce until fully combined.
Pour the wet ingredients into the bowl of dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not overmix.
Gently fold in the fresh or frozen fruits and any optional add-ins like chocolate chips or nuts.
Divide the oat mixture evenly among the muffin tin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove the baked oatmeal cups from the oven and allow them to cool in the pan for 5 minutes, then transfer them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Store the oatmeal cups in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days, or freeze them for longer storage. Reheat in the microwave for 20-30 seconds before enjoying.
