CAN YOU FREEZE BAKED OATMEAL?

Yes, absolutely! Baked oatmeal cups are freezer-friendly, and therefore easy to make-ahead in bulk. Allow your cups to cool completely (to avoid sticking issues) and store them in a zip-lock bag. Refrigerate for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months. If you have issues with cups sticking together in the freezer, fold them individually in plastic wrap before placing in a zip-lock (I haven’t had issues with sticking as long as I allow baked cups to fully cool before freezing).

CAN I REHEAT BAKED OATMEAL?

Reheating baked oatmeal cups is simple and super easy! Remove desired quantity from the refrigerator or freezer and unwrap. Microwave on high for 30-90 seconds until warmed through.

HANDY TIPS:

Rather than portioning batter into a muffin tin, you can transfer all batter to an 8x8 baking dish. It will take a little longer to bake your oatmeal using this method (about 25-30 minutes at 400°F). Allow oatmeal to cool and cut into squares for convenient storage.
Feel free to get creative with this recipe and try different mix-ins. Blackberries and walnuts is another combo I really enjoy!

Ingredients

2 medium size ripe bananas *see tips below
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 & ¾ cups nonfat milk *or milk of your choice (non-dairy is fine)!
2 tablespoons salted butter *melted & slightly cooled
¼ cup maple syrup *see tips below
2 & ½ cups whole grain oats *see tips below
⅔ cup blueberries
⅓ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F
Peel bananas and place them in a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to mash both bananas until they are fairly smooth. Add eggs, cinnamon, vanilla extract and baking powder. Whisk until well combined.
Add milk, maple syrup, and melted butter. Whisk again.
Stir in whole oats, blueberries and chopped pecans (reserve about a tablespoon of pecans to sprinkle on top of your oatmeal cups if desired).
Spray a 12-count muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray and then use a measuring cup to portion batter into each cavity. Sprinkle with reserved pecans. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove cups from the oven and allow them to cool. The cooler they get the more easily they will come out of the muffin tin. Top with additional maple syrup, honey or agave if desired and enjoy!

Tips

Ripe bananas: using super ripe bananas will make your baked oatmeal cups sweet! I always let my bananas sit on the counter for AT LEAST a few days before I mash them up.
Maple syrup: substitute with sugar-free syrup, honey or agave if preferred.
Whole grain oats: quick oats will also work in this recipe but may result in cups that aren’t quite as moist.

  Hi Mickey! I love using blackberries and occasionally I'll add a handful of dark chocolate chips. You can substitute sugar free maple syrup if you want. Also - the riper your bananas the sweeter your baked oats!
