Baked Oatmeal Cups

I’ve been all about meal prepping lately. Things at work have been a little busy and I’ve been in a rush to get out the door every morning. And whenever that happens, I end up leaving without breakfast or lunch because it seems faster to just buy it. Or with later days at the lab, I find myself needing a little snack in the afternoons.

Now I can take my oatmeal on-the-go with these Baked Oatmeal Cups! I love these for breakfast, sure, but they also make a great snack! They are packed with fiber and protein, antioxidants from the blueberries, and some healthy fats from the nuts and coconut oil. I stuffed my oatmeal cups with fresh blueberries and chopped walnuts, but you can really customize these however you want with different fruits (fresh or dried), nuts, add ins like chia seeds and flax, it’s totally up to you!
