Double Almond Baked Oatmeal Cups

These easy baked oatmeal cups are a quick grab and go breakfast or snack. Add it to your meal prep for a healthy whole grain breakfast!

I thoroughly enjoyed our extra hour today! It was nice to relax for a bit and get prepared for the week. And these baked oatmeal cups were a perfect addition to meal prep.

This is one of those staple recipes. Nothing trendy. Nothing really unique – just a simple answer to breakfast. 

Baked Oatmeal Cups Ingredients

Most of the ingredients are pantry or refrigerator staples.

• old fashioned oats 
• almond butter (or peanut butter)
• milk and eggs
• baking soda and salt
• ripe bananas

Notice that you don’t need any flour. The oats work just fine without it.

These oat cups are made without flour but my Blackberry Oatmeal Muffins and Strawberry Buttermilk Muffins use a combination for a more traditional muffin texture. 

How to choose the best bananas

The bananas are the one exception. And not pretty yellow bananas. They need to be ripe – like about to turn to mush, heavily spotted ripe bananas.

The overripe bananas will lend lots of sweetness and moisture to the oatmeal cups, which means you can also cut back on added sugars.

I’ve made this recipe several times. Instead of banana bread, it’s become my go-to recipe to use up extra bananas.

Here, I’ve used sliced almonds and almond butter, but you can swap those out for different nuts or seeds.

Recipe variations

You can add dried cranberries or blueberries to the mixture too. Once the oatmeal cups are done, enjoy them warm (my fave) or at room temperature.

Add a smear of nut butter or toast them up to enjoy with some yogurt for a filling breakfast.

Does this recipe freeze well?

Yes. Let the oatmeal cups cool completely. Store in a freezer safe bag or sealed container. They also keep 3-5 days in the refrigerator.

For ultimate freshness and flavor, freeze any extras within 1-2 days. 

To reheat oatmeal cups

From the refrigerator, you can add the oatmeal cups to a toaster oven for about 5-7 minutes to reheat.

If the oatmeal cups are frozen, pop them into a conventional or toaster oven for about 15 minutes or until the center is completely warm. 

I do not recommend reheating from frozen in the microwave.
