Can I use quick-cooking oats in place of the rolled oats?

The major difference between them is texture.
Rolled oats are a bit thicker and have a larger surface area than quick oats.
But that will be the only noticeable difference, so swap away!

I prefer plant-based milk.

Note that this will alter the nutritional profile of the recipe a bit.
I love using spices.
Could others be added here?
Tap into your creative cooking side and add the spices you love!
Dried ground nutmeg, cloves, five-spice powder or ginger would be a great addition.
If I don’t have a muffin pan, could I use something else to bake this?
Start checking for doneness at about 20 minutes and be sure to cool in the pan before serving.
Would it be possible to use a sugar substitute for the brown sugar?
If you prefer to use a sugar substitute for this recipe, then we say go for it.
I have a nut allergy.
Can I omit them or use a seed or other nut if I prefer?
No need to chop them; they can just be added directly to the batter.
Note that this swap will alter the nutritional profile of the recipe a bit.
How long can these be stored, and can I freeze them?
Coat a muffin tin with cooking spray.
Divide the mixture among the muffin cups (about 1/3 cup each).
Bake until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 25 minutes.
Cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn out onto a wire rack.
Serve warm or at room temperature.
