    Why These are the BEST Baked Oatmeal Cups

    These healthy baked oatmeal cups are the best:

    • All you need is a few ingredients common to most kitchens.
    • They're easy to make - all you need is a mixing bowl, spoon, and muffin pan.
    • Have fun with your mix-ins! I used drozen blueberries but you can use any frozen fruit of choice. Other mix-ins work, too!

    What You'll Need

    Ingredients

    • Old-fashioned oats (certified gluten-free if you need it)
    • Milk of choice
    • Eggs
    • Applesauce
    • Baking powder
    • Cinnamon
    • Vanilla extract
    • Fruit (frozen, fresh, or dried)

    Equipment

    • Mixing bowl
    • Measuring cups and spoons
    • Spatula spoon
    • Muffin pan
    ingredients laid out to make baked oatmeal cups

    How to Make This Recipe

    1. Preheat oven to 375°F and prepare a muffin pan by spraying each tin with nonstick spray.
    2. Combine dry ingredients (oats, baking powder, and cinnamon – if using) in a large bowl. Add wet ingredients (milk, honey, eggs, applesauce, vanilla) and stir until combined. Add fruit (or any other mix-ins) and stir to combine.
    3. Pour batter into muffin tins and bake for 25-30 minutes.
    4. Let cool and enjoy!

    Top Tips to Best Make These Baked Oatmeal Muffins

    • Use any frozen fruit that's bite-sized or chopped into smaller pieces. Blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, and peaches all taste great!
    • Fresh fruit chopped into bite-sized pieces works as well (avoid very "wet" fruit, though,
    • You can add in anything else you love and have on hand, too - nuts, seeds, dried fruit, even chocolate chips!
    • Enjoy them cold, at room temperature, or warm. To warm them, you can reheat in the toaster oven for a couple minutes or in the microwave 10-20 seconds.

    How to Store Them

    They can be left in an airtight container for 1-2 days at room temperature, in the fridge for a few days, and frozen up to six months.

    Serving Suggestions

    It totally depends on your hunger level and needs, but you can grab a couple of these oatmeal cups on their own, or pair with a green smoothie, some greek yogurt or cottage cheese, fruit, and/ or hard boiled eggs.

    Are they healthy?

    These oatmeal cups are full of nutrient-dense foods and can absolutely be part of a balanced, healthy meal or snack.

    Know, too, that “healthy” is subjective. The foods that help one maintain their health may or may not work for you - and that’s okay! Honor the body you have. As a registered dietitian nutritionist, I suggest eating a variety of nourishing foods that help you feel good and achieve or maintain your health, balanced with the foods you love. Remember - an election isn’t won with every vote, but the majority. Your health is the same way - the overall dietary pattern is what matters most.

      This is a regular recipe we use- one of the only reliable ways to get my 18 month old to eat breakfast!! I’ve loaded them with lots of different fruit but we always have blueberries on hand (his fave) so that’s usually what we use. Great to freeze and reheat on weekend mornings when he’s home!

      Thank you for this recipe!!!!

      Hi, could these be made without the honey or use an alternative sweetener? I’d love to find a faster way of getting my oats in the morning without any added sugars. Thanks!

        Yes ma'am! You can use any alternative sweetener you prefer. (It's a small amount, so even using a granulated sweetener should still be fine, but you may need to add a touch more liquid, like applesauce or milk of choice.)
