Easy Baked Oatmeal Cups Recipe - hearty and filling oatmeal baked into muffin cups. Perfect breakfast idea for busy days!
What do you do when your family is bored with oatmeal every morning? You bake it into muffin cups! These Easy Baked Oatmeal Cups are a recent family favorite. Easy to whip up, freezer-friendly, perfect for busy mornings, road trips and lunch boxes. Add your favorite oatmeal toppings into the batter and on top of each cup and enjoy these hearty and filling cups. If I don't have a batch of my Flourless Peanut Butter Blender Muffins on hand, I make these Baked Oatmeal Cups.
EASY BAKED OATMEAL CUPS
These Easy Baked Oatmeal Cups are a great way to enjoy healthy oatmeal in a fun way, baked in a muffin pan. Make a batch or two and keep for a grab-and-go snack or breakfast.
HOW TO MAKE BAKED OATMEAL CUPS
- Start by whisking together the wet ingredients ( mashed bananas, nut butter, coconut oil, egg or an egg replacer, vanilla extract ) and add the dry ingredients ( rolled oats, baking powder, cinnamon, salt ).
- Add your favorite oatmeal toppings: chopped nuts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, chocolate chips and bake until golden brown.
- Cool to room temperature and store in an air-tight container or freeze to enjoy later. These oatmeal cups are delicious slightly warm or at room temperature. Cut in half and spread almond or peanut butter on each for an even more filling breakfast or snack.
WHAT TO ADD TO BAKED OATMEAL CUPS?
Anything you like in your oatmeal! You can make each cup with different add-ons: shredded coconut, dried fruit, chopped nuts, chocolate, ground flax seeds, shredded apples or carrots.
CAN I FREEZE BAKED OATMEAL CUPS?
Yes! Bake the oatmeal cups and cool completely. Place in a freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw out in the fridge.
HOW TO STORE BAKED OATMEAL CUPS?
I love stocking up on these oatmeal cups. They are perfect for our busy days, when we have a ton of errands to run and I want us to have a healthy option. I also always pack them for our road trips and into our kids' snack boxes. You can store them in an air-tight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or place in freezer-safe container or bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
