Ingredients

- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

How to Make Berry Oatmeal Cups
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and prepare a muffin tin by greasing it with cooking spray or lining it with muffin liners.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, milk, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, baking powder, salt, and cinnamon (if using). Stir until well combined.
- Gently fold in the mixed berries, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Evenly scoop the oatmeal mixture into the prepared muffin tin, filling each cup about 3/4 full. You can sprinkle a few extra berries on top for garnish if desired.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the tops are golden and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Allow the oatmeal cups to cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy warm or store for later!
Tips for the Best Results
- Ensure your oats are fresh for the best flavor and texture.
- Adjust the sweetness to your taste; feel free to add more or less honey or maple syrup.
- If using frozen berries, do not thaw them before adding, as they may make your cups soggy.
Easy Variations
- Swap out the mixed berries for other fruits like diced apples, bananas, or peaches.
- Add nuts or seeds for extra crunch and nutrition.
- Incorporate some chia seeds or flaxseeds for added fiber and omega-3s.
- Use flavored yogurt instead of milk for a creamier texture and added taste.
What to Serve With It
- A side of Greek yogurt for added protein.
- A smoothie for a refreshing drink.
- A sprinkle of nuts or granola for extra crunch.
- A drizzle of nut butter for added richness.
