    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.

    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!!!!

But if this has typically triggered restrictive or extreme habits or eating patterns, let's try something different:

Can you try to gently step back into caring for yourself?

Check in with your baseline habits.

+Has your water intake turned to mostly coffee intake? 
+Are you moving your body in a way that feels good right now?
+How are your eating habits?

Then, when the opportunity next presents itself to do something a little different, like adding vegetables to your lunch or skipping Netflix to actually go to bed at a decent time😘, act on it!
