Oatmeal cups are a great starter recipe for those who are wanting to do some meal prepping but arent sure where to start.  It is one of my favorites because of its versatility; it makes a great breakfast, snack, or treat. I have made it into a large “cake”, a sheet pan, and grab-and-go muffins- anything goes so it can suit your particular needs (do you need it for a snack item? a breakfast?) It’s also realllllyyy hard to screw this recipe up, its kid and adult friendly (my 4 year old can make this), and it can be prepared ahead of time and frozen and maintain its integrity! 

Feel free to change out the fruits & spices listed to suit your taste preferences. Some variations I have done include: peaches and cinnamon, apple/pear, raisins with apple pie spice,  carrot cake style with shredded carrot, coconut & zucchini with raisins and walnuts, and sweet potato pie style with pecans. 

Don’t forget to top it anyway you like! Some of my favorites: nut butters, greek yogurt, extra fruit, cream cheese or even ice cream. 


Give it a try and let me know what your favorite combination is!
