Baked Oatmeal Cups are a cross between a muffin and oatmeal. Packed with nut butter, mashed banana, oats, and maple syrup and filled with your favorite mix-ins (chocolate, dried fruit, nuts, or berries). A quick and easy breakfast or snack that is nutritious and delicious!
We’ve been in a major breakfast rut and these Baked Oatmeal Cups finally have us excited about breakfast again. My kids love them, they are healthy, and there are so many different flavor variations. If you’re looking for recipes using oats, we have several delicious options. Try our Oatmeal Pancakes, Oatmeal Coconut Chocolate Chip Cookies, and Berry Baked Oatmeal, too.
