The cookbook focused on recipes made with natural, minimally-processed ingredients and the baked oatmeal made with rolled oats, toasted nuts, and lots of berries became an simple go-to breakfast for a lot of people. I\u2019ve baked endless variations on it in the decade since, and make a muffin tin version of the original recipe whenever we want an easy breakfast-on-the-go option.<br \/><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups-1.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"baked oatmeal cups with lots of berries in a muffin tin\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">These baked oatmeal cups are made with rolled oats, chopped bananas, nuts and berries baked in a vanilla-spiked milk mixture (you can use whatever milk you like). You bake them until everything comes together in a golden topped breakfast on the go. They\u2019re flourless and gluten-free if you source gluten-free oats. You can enjoy them dairy-free if you use dairy-free milk. All in all, they\u2019re packed with goodness, kid-friendly, and super tasty.\u00a0<br \/><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups-3.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"six baked oatmeal cups with lots of berries pictured from the side\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">Variations<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">The different variations on baked oatmeal cups are endless. For starters, you can experiment with different liquids. I\u2019ve baked versions with everything from buttermilk to oat milk to coconut milk to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/toasted-coconut-milk\/\">toasted coconut milk<\/a>(!). Next, you can switch up the fruits. These are berry and cherry-centric, but there\u2019s no reason you can\u2019t swap in saut\u00e9ed apples, or caramelized bananas, or stone fruits like pluots and apricots. You can experiment with sweeteners &#8211; maple syrup works great. A decadent version I took note of last summer was featured chopped cherries and chocolate chunks. Also, you can always go back to baking the mixture in an 8&#215;8-inch baking dish if you want. Other ideas:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Almond baked oatmeal cups<\/span>: swap in almond extract for the vanilla extract, and use sliced almonds as your nut component<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Vegan baked oatmeal cups<\/span>: add I tablespoon chia seeds and 3 tablespoons of water to the wet mixture in the recipe in place of the egg.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Play around with your spices<\/span>: go beyond the cinnamon.<\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline\">Dial up the coconut and citrus<\/span>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/coconut-baked-oatmeal\/\">coconut baked oatmeal<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/span>To make the oatmeal cups you combine the dry ingredients and fruit, and then combine it with the wet ingredients in a large bowl. Wait a few minutes to allow the mixture to come together a bit, the oats will start to absorb some of the liquid.<br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">How To Store Baked Oatmeal Cups<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">To save any baked oatmeal cups you aren\u2019t consuming on your baking day you have a few options. You can store them, refrigerated, in an air-tight container, for a few days. Bring them back to room temperature before serving or reheat in a toaster oven, etc.<span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups-9.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"baked oatmeal cups on marble counter\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">How To Freeze Baked Oatmeal Cups<\/h2>\n<p class=\"p1\">Yes, you can freeze them! Allow baked oatmeal cups to cool completely prior to freezing. Arrange in a single layer on a baking sheet and freeze. Transfer to freezer-safe bag for up to a month or so. Allow the oatmeal cups to come back up to room temperature before serving. You can reheat them for extra goodness. If you know you want oatmeal cups for breakfast, allow them to thaw in the front of the refrigerator overnight. Go from there in the morning.<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"s1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups-10.jpg?w=620&amp;auto=format\" alt=\"baked oatmeal cups on marble counter\" width=\" 620\" border=\"0\" \/><br \/><\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"p1\">More Favorite Oatmeal Recipes<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/coconut-baked-oatmeal\/\">Coconut Baked Oatmeal<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/oatmeal-bread\/\">Cheddar Jalape\u00f1o Oatmeal Bread<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/whole-wheat-oatmeal-chocolate-chip-cookies\/\">Whole Wheat Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"p1\">All the <a style=\"font-size: revert;font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'Segoe UI', Roboto, Oxygen-Sans, Ubuntu, Cantarell, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif\" href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/ingredient\/oatmeal\">oatmeal recipes<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Continue reading <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\/baked-oatmeal-cups\/\">Baked Oatmeal Cups<\/a> on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/www.101cookbooks.com\">101 Cookbooks<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My book Super Natural Every Day was published in 2011, and right away one of the most popular recipes in it was the baked oatmeal.
