- 0.25 cup maple syrup or honey
- 2 tablespoons melted butter or coconut oil

Notes
- You can add a handful of chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans for extra crunch.
- For a sweeter treat, you can sprinkle a little extra cinnamon sugar on top before baking.
- These cups can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or frozen for longer storage. Reheat gently before serving.
