Grind the oats until fine.
In a mixing bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugars, cinnamon, and salt.
Pour the melted margarine over the dry mixture.
Add the vanilla extract.
Mix well until the mixture is in the form of a sticky dough.
Grease a muffin dish lightly.
Put about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and press along the sides to create a hollow crust.
Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the crust is lightly golden.
Let the crust cool completely before filling them.
For the filling, chop the chocolate and place it in a small bowl.
Heat up the cream until itβs about to boil.
Add the cream to the chocolate and wait for 5 minutes.
Give it a stir until all the chocolate is all melted.

Whip it up with a hand mixer until nice and fluffy.
Fill the oat cups with the cream and decorate with cashews and cranberries.
Just before serving, sprinkle them with dusting sugar.
