HOW TO MAKE HONEY NUT BAKED OATMEAL CUPS:

These healthy honey nut cinnamon oatmeal cups are dairy free, refined sugar free and take less than 10 minutes to mix up. You can enjoy them as is or add them to a bowl along with some milk, dairy free yogurt and a touch of pure maple syrup.

What I love about a simple recipe like this is that you can easily customize these honey nut baked oatmeal cups with what you like or have on hand.

HELPFUL TIPS FOR MAKING BAKED OATMEAL CUPS:

Use cooking spray, or silicone (not paper) muffin liners

• Before getting started, lightly coat a standard muffin tin with cooking spray or line a baking sheet with silicone muffin liners.
• Coating your muffin tin ensures that the baked oatmeal will not stick to the pan.
• Skip the paper muffin liners since the oatmeal cups will stick to them

Make them gluten-free and nut-free (as needed)

To ensure your baked oatmeal cups are gluten-free, be sure to use gluten-free oats and leave out nuts as needed.

Use your favorite combination of sweeteners.

These baked oatmeal cups are refined sugar-free and use maple syrup to sweeten them up. Feel free to swap or add additional coconut nectar, honey, coconut sugar, monk fruit, date puree, or your favorite low-carb sweetener instead.

Have fun with your add-ins

Fold in or sprinkle any add-ins of your choice. Coconut chips, freeze-dried fruit, chopped nuts or chocolate chips add  texture and flavor. Or make a batch with several different flavors and customize individual cups for picky eaters.

How to Store Baked Oatmeal Cups

Store oatmeal cups in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to five days. Or wrap them up individually and store in the freezer for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or toaster oven to enjoy throughout the week.

You can serve as is, with yogurt, almond milk, nut butter or some jam to liven things up.
