We are huge fans of Overnight Oats and just simple bowls of oatmeal. Baked Oatmeal is just as good and easy to make. Plus, it's freezer-friendly, which I consider a significant advantage. I'm always in favor of stocking the freezer with ready-to-eat meals.
Like other oatmeal recipes, baked oatmeal can be customized with a variety of flavor add-ins. I'm excited to share two of our favorite recipes that start with the same base. I prepare the primary baked oatmeal mix, divide it into two portions, and then stir in the unique ingredients for each. They bake simultaneously, eliminating the need to bake twice.
How To Make Baked Oatmeal Cups 2 Ways
- In a medium bowl, combine the oats, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl, mix together the melted coconut oil, vanilla extract, honey, eggs, and milk. Whisk until fully combined.
- Pour the milk mixture into the oat mixture and stir until everything is well incorporated. Measure out 1 ½ cups of the oat mixture and place it into a separate bowl. Add the banana and cinnamon to one bowl, and the strawberries and blueberries to the other. Mix each to combine.
- Lightly oil a muffin pan, scoop the mixtures into the pan, and bake for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
Storage Tips
Allow the oatmeal cups to cool completely before placing in an airtight container. Baked Oatmeal can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. To freeze baked oatmeal cups, place them in a single layer and freeze flat.
Reheating Tip
Thaw overnight in the refrigerator to make reheating easy. Reheat in the microwave, oven or toaster oven. It usually takes about 20 seconds in the microwave to reheat one cup.
Frequently Asked Questions
I prefer to use Old Fashioned Rolled Oats. I find that Old Fashioned Oats yield the best texture. Steel Cut Oats are a little too "toothsome," after baking because of the liquid ratio. Instant Oats will work just fine, the texture will just be a little different.
Baked oatmeal is best served warm. It can be topped with a drizzle of maple syrup or just eaten as is.
